Does anyone here work for, or have worked with, Duane Morris? I know they don’t pay Milbank scale salaries, but curious about the work environment and collegiality.

Isn't that a pharmacy?

likefunnysmarthelpful

Fun fact for those who insist on mocking Duane Morris for sounding like a pharmacy: The firm was founded by Mr. Duane and Mr. Morris (naturally).

Mr. Duane respected his partner so highly that he named his son after him. Due to the nepotism that was the style of the day, that child eventually became chairman of the firm.

So the chair of Duane Morris was Morris Duane.

I am not making this up.

Apparently Morris Duane was a lovely man who made a habit of poking his head in random lawyers’ offices and asking “ARE YOU HAVING FUN?”

I would personally throw myself out the window if my boss pulled some crap like that, but people in his day apparently appreciated this.

Nobody but Milbank pays Milbank scale salaries, so don’t hold that against Duane Reade

What office?

San Francisco, but believe there is an opportunity to work remotely.

I can’t speak to that office, and your mileage obviously will vary depending on your team and practice group, but I love the firm. For a lot of people (certainly not everyone) DM provides what a lot of BigLaw lawyers dream of: a somewhat lower salary for a substantially chiller job.
