Interview Process
Interviews are typically between 4-6 conversations that take place by telephone, video, and/or in-person visits. The lateral candidate will talk to the practice group leader and several members of the practice group for which the candidate is being considered. Interviews are designed to allow the candidate to clearly understand the responsibilities and duties of the position and to learn how the practice group’s members are organized and work with each other. Interviews are also intended to give both sides a chance to evaluate interpersonal compatibility. Maynard’s lateral interview process ensures a good fit and properly manages expectations for a successful relationship.
Offer Decisions
Maynard makes an effort to respond to each candidate as quickly as possible.

Testimonials
"When I joined in August 2000, the Firm did not have a long history of hiring laterals. Nonetheless, the Firm embraced me, and Shareholders like Maibeth Porter, Lee Cooper, and Boots Gale, among many others, took an interest in my practice and were key in my development, just as though I had started at the Firm from day one."
“I am excited to return to Maynard. Having worked with Maynard for over a decade, I can't say enough good things about them and their client-focused, pragmatic approach. I look forward to using my experience on the client side to serve as a trusted advisor to financial and other businesses as they navigate through legal and regulatory challenges.”
“Transitioning to Maynard as a lateral associate has been a game changer. The Firm is actively invested in my professional development and committed to creating a culture of mentorship and opportunity. As a diverse attorney, I feel free to express myself and have formed amazing interpersonal relationships within the Firm.”
