Recruiting

At Butler Snow, we know that the quality of our service depends on the quality of our attorneys. That’s why we place a high priority on recruiting. We aim for a higher standard in service and professionalism and seek to recruit and retain talented attorneys who share that aim. The result is an exceptional team of professionals devoted to one goal: client service.

Founded more than 50 years ago, Butler Snow has more than 150 lawyers, from 21 law schools, practicing as one firm in three offices – Jackson, Mississippi, the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Memphis, Tennessee and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.  Our commitment to service, legal excellence and value has helped us grow from a regional firm to one with national scope.

Our diversified practice includes healthcare industry litigation and business, general litigation, labor and employment, public law and finance, general corporate, tax, financial services and governmental affairs. We offer a host of opportunities for high-level, engaging legal work with local, regional, national and international clients.

Teamwork

Our firm’s distinctive culture enables us to attract bright attorneys and provide sophisticated legal services to our clients. At Butler Snow, economic rewards do not depend on being the originating attorney or relationship attorney for a particular client or matter.  Instead of economic competition between members, we encourage teamwork. On any particular legal matter, we ask the best qualified person to handle it, drawing on resources throughout the firm.  Clients benefit from the representation of attorneys with diverse skills and experience. That’s what we mean by a higher standard.

As a result of this philosophy of teamwork and the culture it creates, the firm's reputation for excellent legal work that started within Mississippi has now expanded across the southeastern United States and the nation. Our internal teamwork makes us more productive partners for our clients; in effect, they are clients of the firm, not individual attorneys. We have chosen to be different in today's bottom-line-oriented world because we believe that enables us to aim for – and reach – a higher standard.

Technology

Butler Snow has been a leader in law firm technology and boasts cutting-edge e-mail capability, document management software, Internet access, easy remote access to the firm's network for easy remote capabilities, and firm cell phone and PDA reimbursement policies. Our in-house courtroom offers state-of-the-art technology, including touch-screen monitors, and provides an environment for our attorneys to grow and develop their courtroom skills.
