Work With Us
We foster a firm culture that emphasizes teamwork, collegiality, and diversity. Maintaining a pleasant and inviting atmosphere is the best way to attract and retain the best attorneys, paralegals, and administrative professionals.
The effectiveness of our approach is proven. Many Bodman employees have enjoyed careers of forty years or more with the firm. Bodman has been a destination for talented summer associates, lateral candidates, and partners who want to find a home and not merely a stepping stone or point of passage.
We look to add outstanding people to our team. Our diverse client base and broad range of practice areas offer many opportunities for those who embrace the Bodman commitment to the highest quality legal work and superior client service.
We are proud of the work we do, and we expect those who join us will share that same pride.
