While some attorneys specialize in particular areas of law, many work in more than one area and with attorneys from more than one practice team. We encourage attorneys to pursue their interests in developing an area of concentration and/or expertise and welcome the development of new areas outside those presently offered.

Murphy Austin believes that ongoing training for our attorneys is the surest means to providing the highest quality service for our clients. For this reason, attorneys at all levels regularly attend, both in-house and outside, continuing legal education programs throughout the year. Attorneys also participate in seminars and national and regional trade group programs so that they can focus on developing business and building client relationships early in their careers.
