“We’ve looked for talented people,” Cross said. “We’ve looked for opportunities to diversify in our geographic reach and offices and serve clients better by bringing in those specialties.”
And what’s drawing attorneys to the firm? Cross chalks it up to a positive firm culture that doesn’t get “bogged down in politics and layers”—or get obsessed with metrics.
Cross said that leaders assess lawyers’ performance not just their billable hours, but along more subjective measures such as time spent mentoring other attorneys and their involvement in the community.'
