Joining FBT Gibbons

We have given significant thought to understanding what makes someone successful at FBT Gibbons and how to better identify successful future contributors to our team. Our typical candidate selection process includes both 30-minute one-on-one interviews and a 60-minute interview with a panel of trained interviewers. During the panel interview, we utilize behaviorally based questions in a systematic process to eliminate impermissible bias and to better understand the past experiences of our applicants. By understanding the experiences that shape an applicant, we can better identify potential for future success at the firm.

Developmental Stages

We have two bonus programs, one based on objective criteria, the other on subjective considerations. The associate objective bonus program rewards attorneys on a quarterly basis for recording hours billable to FBT Gibbons clients. The subjective bonus program rewards attorneys for making significant contributions to the firm’s current or future profits. Other considerations include productivity (with respect to billable hours) as well as mentoring, pro bono work, marketing and business development activities, outstanding client service and the generation of new business.

Industry Teams and Practice Groups

In addition, each of the firm’s industry teams and practice groups hold regular meetings and in-office seminars. Led by FBT Gibbons partners, these subject-focused seminars address recent developments in the law and effective strategies for helping clients navigate these new exigencies. Each team has specific benchmarks for skill development at each level, ensuring that associates are on track and have a varied and manageable workload.

Marketing and Business Development Support

Our Marketing Department helps attorneys identify client engagement opportunities and develop marketing collateral for pitches and presentations.

We place the highest priority on hiring not just qualified people, but qualified people who share our inclusive values and bring a fresh perspective by virtue of their unique life experience. We are also fully committed to maintaining an organizational culture in which everyone is treated with dignity, where different perspectives are engaged and valued, and where genuine team players can forge lifelong careers.
