The San Francisco law office of Graham & James, despite its reputation as one of the country's premier international law firms, likes to boast of its relaxed, liberal atmosphere, in which women actually wear pants to work. Remarkable. When it gets down to its premier business of international law, however, few can beat Graham & James. Founded in 1934 as a maritime law firm, Graham & James has expanded from this early nautical emphasis into an international practice. One of the first American law firms in Japan after World War II, Graham & James used this longstanding connection to establish itself as an indispensable element of Pacific Rim trade and commerce. Outside Asia, Graham & James has established a presence through associations with top British, German, and Australian firms. In addition to its international law practice, Graham & James has also established a reputation as a first-rate environmental and intellectual property law firm.

Graham & James recruits heavily from San Francisco-area schools, but looks for self-motivated lawyers with international work experience and exposure to foreign cultures. To apply, submit a resume to the firm's San Francisco office, or e-mail the Human Resources Manager, Ms. Edie Dykstra, at edykstra@gj.com.
Work at Graham & James "is definitely not like working at a Wall Street firm," employees say. In addition to an "informal dress code," and "relaxed atmosphere," the firm generally succeeds in "keeping associates informed" about management and partnership decisions. Unfortunately, associates say, the prospects of ever becoming a partner are "dismal," requiring "a relatively large number" of senior associates to leave the firm.
