We understand that recruitment and hiring is only half of the picture. Real attention must also be paid to helping all firm attorneys and business professionals remain with the firm and succeed. Cozen O’Connor prides itself on our ability to retain our employees. We achieve this through our culture of collegiality and collaboration, and we promote career-long professional development. Notably, while some attrition is inevitable, our attorneys rarely leave us to join other law firms.

The firm has a strong sense of self — built on a culture of collaboration, meritocracy, and an unquenchable desire for excellence. For this reason, Cozen O’Connor eschews the lock-step model embraced by many other firms in favor of one that challenges attorneys and business professionals at all levels to be their best in a supportive, open-door environment that provides ample opportunity for early and continual professional growth. We recognize and reward individual excellence, and we believe that empowering our attorneys and staff to become their very best is part of our duty as a firm.

A key part of our efforts to empower our attorneys to advance their careers at Cozen O’Connor is our robust attorney training program. These efforts are driven by the firm’s full-time Director of Career Development, who is responsible for firmwide attorney training and professional development initiatives, including orientation and integration, and continuing education and development programming for all of our lawyers.

Further, Cozen O'Connor is committed to cultivating career growth for our business professionals. When our staff succeeds, our firm succeeds. By giving all firm employees greater access to professional development, we create an overarching environment of growth and continued engagement.
