Partners and Of Counsel

Joining a new firm is a significant decision. You want your next move to provide the platform, support, and culture you need to do your best work. At Vorys, we have built a firm where experienced attorneys thrive, and we are committed to making sure you do, too.

Our firm is founded on teamwork, client service, innovation and community involvement. These are not just aspirational statements — they are reflected in how we practice, how we invest, and how we treat one another.

Collaboration and shared values

Teamwork is at the heart of Vorys. Our attorneys collaborate across practice areas and offices, and our compensation system rewards multidisciplinary teamwork. There are no origination credits, no billable hour requirements, and no single attorney gets rewarded for a matter or client. Instead, we prioritize and reward working as teams to deliver great results for our clients. In our unique system, you will find colleagues who are genuinely invested in your success and eager to work together.

We believe great lawyers contribute to a firm in many ways — including client service, mentorship, collaboration, teamwork, community involvement and firm citizenship. Our compensation system is designed to recognize the whole picture, not just one narrow metric.

Innovation is in our DNA

Innovation is central to who we are. We encourage creative thinking and back it up with real investment. From our pioneering eControl practice — recognized by the College of Law Practice Management for combining law with technology and cyber investigative tools — to our role as a founding advisor to Stanford Law School’s Legal Innovation through Frontier Technology Lab (liftlab), we support and invest when the opportunity is right.

Vorys is entrepreneurial by nature. We offer a flexible platform designed to help you expand your practice, reach new clients, and pursue the work that matters most to you. Whether you want to grow a current area of strength or explore new opportunities, you will find the resources and support you need here.

Resources and access from day one

From day one, you will have access to dedicated professionals focused on integration, marketing and business development, technology and practice tools, and ongoing opportunities for learning and leadership development. We invest in the people and infrastructure that help you build and sustain a successful practice.

Vorys has a strategic growth plan, and we want you to see yourself in it. When you join, our team will help you understand how your practice fits into the firm’s future. That clarity is something we take seriously.

If you’re interested in advancement, you will have opportunities. We have a proven track record of lateral attorneys advancing into equity partnership and key leadership roles. Our integration process includes regular check-ins to discuss your performance and goals, ensuring you have the resources you need to grow.

Stable firm leadership and reinvestment

Lateral attorneys have direct access to firm leadership and are actively involved in firm activities and decisions from the start. Our management is responsive, accessible and genuinely dedicated to your success.

For more than 115 years, Vorys has steadily strengthened its financial position. All key financial indicators are strong, and the firm carries no significant debt. We continually re-invest in our future to ensure our clients and our people have the resources to succeed.
