Horrible, hypocritical place to work - Associate Attorney Bignault & Carter Employee Review

The management at Bignault and Carter recognizes individual talent and performance. The workplace culture allows everyone to grow and develop professionally all while feeling valued. Employees at Bignault and Carter are encouraged to set career goals and then are further mentored and provided guidance in pursuit of said goals. Everyone is encouraged to do their best and is treated equally. There are many different jobs at Bignault and Carter but everyone is valued, from Interns to Attorneys. One of my favorite parts of working at Bignault and Carter is everyone's ability to grow into more responsibility no matter where you start, you can participate in a very diverse selection of work from administrative to legal. There is no doubt that working here allows you to gain invaluable experience and if ever need be, the ability to work in any workplace applying the skills you developed at Bignault and Carter. While at Bignault and Carter I have also developed a very well rooted network, to include both professional associations as well as personal relationships. I have never seen someone be so compassionate to so many of their employees as I have seen the partners of Bignault and Carter. Not only do I consider them good attorneys, good leaders but amazing people. Paschal Bignault and Lori Carter have more times than anyone could count been there showing support to anyone who needs them. This firm positively impacts everyone who associates with it, employees, clients, other businesses alike. Be assured Bignault and Carter sets a great example in our community.

There is a high level of co-dependency and everyone's work has real-world consequences. The workload can be demanding but retains its value in the gained experience.

The partners at this firm really take their time to work with each individual attorney in training them to be better attorneys and law practice managers. You don't find this type of mentorship at many other firms. The partners progressively increased responsibility and the types of tasks assigned so that professionalism was gained and sometimes tough lessons could be learned. No doubt I am a better lawyer for my clients because of this individual attention. Just sitting and talking to the partners about strategy increased my understanding of the reasons that things were being done. It took years of practice before I really realized the benefit of working here and the long term benefits of the training, which required particularized attention to detail. Multiple judges in Chatham County Georgia started their careers here if that tells you anything! Not all attorneys are capable of understanding and comprehending the nuanced areas of law at this law firm, but those that stick it out and do the work realize the benefits throughout the course of their careers. Oh yeah, and the compensation was great too!

Professionally challenging and a lot of work!
