We understand that this is a natural question for attorneys looking to advance their careers by coming to Jones Waldo. We know that to attract attorneys of the highest caliber, we need to be a law firm of the highest caliber. Here’s why we think we’re a good fit for like-minded lawyers:

Reputation

If we seem protective of our reputation, it’s only because it’s taken us 130 years of dedicated practice to earn it. We’ve responded to the changing times with growth and innovation. Through the years we’ve established relationships of partnership with more clients than we could ever list here.Today, we are one of Salt Lake’s most respected firms, with expertise and experience in virtually every area of law that falls under the umbrella of a full-service law firm. We consider that each one of our associates and shareholders are vital in maintaining that reputation.

Work Environment

We believe that a big law firm doesn’t have to feel like, well, a big law firm. At Jones Waldo, attorneys work in an environment where they can practice comfortably. No two areas of law are exactly the same, and at Jones Waldo we don’t expect each attorney to practice exactly the same way. Attorneys have the freedom to practice according to their expertise and passions. It shouldn’t be a surprise that as a result the environment in the office is friendly and fun. Jones Waldo has also been recognized nationally for its workplace flexibility and commitment to work/life balance with the Alfred P. Sloan Award. Ulimately, our great workplace is just a natural side effect of attorneys doing what they love to do the way they love to do it.

Diversity

Jones Waldo has practice groups that span almost every facet of law, with clients from all walks of life, so it’s only natural that diversity is one of our core values. We’re working to set the standard for other law firms by offering clients the most talented attorneys across all backgrounds. In addition to diversity in our individual attorneys, including practice groups that focus on women and minorities, Jones Waldo is dedicated to representing the diversity that exists in the different areas of law. We want to establish relationships of partnership with every client we have, and doing so requires that we have a full arsenal of attorneys proficient in every area of law that affects our clients. As a result, specialization is encouraged at Jones Waldo. Attorneys are encouraged to delve deep into the areas of law that interest them most.

Location

Salt Lake City is an ideal place to practice for many attorneys.  Many of our attorneys grew up in the area and were eager to come back to the beautiful mountains and outdoor landscapes of Utah. We are close to two major law schools, and as a result, persaude many graduates to stay close to the alma maters and communities that they have come to love. The dynamic nature of Salt Lake City, the capital of a state with a continually robust economy,  makes it an exciting place to practice, a place where attorneys can look forward to meeting new challenges with energy and creativity.
