Carlton Fields has long been recognized as one of America's leading law firms. And while the reputation of our Firm is built largely on the quality of the lawyers we attract and retain, there is something more than legal talent that distinguishes Carlton Fields from other top firms.
"There is a unique spirit at work here, a collective "can do" attitude that empowers every member of our Firm -- shareholders, associates, summer associates, and support staff alike -- to go well beyond the expected in meeting the needs of our clients. This spirit, coupled with an extensive knowledge of the law, has given us a reputation as the "go to" law firm for results. It has also given us the reputation as a great place to practice law, and to grow as individuals, both personally and professionally."
Because the law touches so many lives in so many profound ways, we do everything possible to enhance its practice by encouraging our attorneys to stay abreast of all changes in laws, statutes, regulations and codes in their areas of specialization. This includes participation in Continuing Education Programs (CLE), as well as various professional seminars and other related substantive legal and skills training programs.
Our attorneys are also very active in community affairs, numerous civic organizations, and the Florida and American Bar Associations. As a firm, we embrace pro bono legal work and public service, a tradition of giving back to the community that began with our founding in 1901.
The Firm's research capabilities and client service technology provide in-depth support for our attorneys, allowing them to better focus on client matters.
Above all, this Firm provides an environment that nurtures integrity, commitment to client service, thoroughness, and creativity. Should you join us, you will be in very distinguished company. Our attorneys and alumni include a former president of the American Bar Association, American Bar Foundation and International Bar Association, a former president of The Florida Bar, two former Governors of the State of Florida, a former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice, a former Lieutenant Governor, and United States District Court, U.S. Court of Appeals, and U.S. Bankruptcy Court judges.
