"Sutherland is a firm with high standards and great people. I remember choosing Sutherland because it was clear to me that I would learn a lot from the lawyers here, and that they would be a pleasure to practice with. Both of those impressions have proved accurate.  Ours is a firm with big-time clients and a big-time practice, that hasn‘t lost the sense of what makes it rewarding and fun to practice law.  Much of that is the challenges that the practice presents, but even more of that is our colleagues here at Sutherland."
