Our Stories

Carter L. Williams
Associate (Washington)
Washington and Lee University School of Law, 2004

"I chose to begin my legal career at Sutherland for many of the same reasons that I chose to study law at Washington & Lee.  First, there is the size--big enough to learn and grow, yet not so big that one need worry about getting lost in the shuffle.  Second, there are the open door opportunities.  Like W&L professors, Sutherland partners are always available to answer questions and point you in the right direction.  Finally, and most importantly, there is a great prestige-to-collegiality ratio.  Just as W&L provides a top notch legal education in a warm and friendly environment, Sutherland continually outperforms competitors without sacrificing its core values."
