Here are a just a few things that we do to invest in our associates:

In addition to experienced lateral associates, former judicial clerks bring important experience to our legal practice. Clerks’ skills and knowledge contribute directly to our ability to meet the diverse needs of our clients. We've established a legacy of attracting and retaining former judicial clerks. Potter Anderson is proud that nearly a quarter of our lawyers have clerked.

Why choose Delaware?

For more than 100 years, Delaware has been recognized as the nation’s corporate domicile of choice, and many major businesses from around the nation and the world, including a majority of the Fortune 500, are incorporated here. Those entities necessarily look to Delaware law and to Delaware lawyers for advice on a wide variety of transactions and for representation in complex corporate, bankruptcy and IP litigation in our storied state and federal courts, ensuring that our lawyers are always on the cutting edge of an ever-changing legal landscape.

Along with a dynamic and cutting-edge legal environment, Delaware boasts a small and unique bar that creates a rewarding and collaborative environment for the practice of law. There is an emphasis on collegiality in the Delaware bar that is one of the key ingredients to the success of the system. In other jurisdictions, it may be unlikely that you will face your opposing counsel or your judge in other matters with any regularity. In Delaware, you are very likely to be working with your opposing counsel in another matter, and will routinely be before the same judges. Those relationships help to ensure that all parties cooperate to move the transaction or litigation forward in a reasonable and efficient manner.  Potter Anderson strongly encourages and supports associates’ efforts to strengthen their profile and relationships within the Bar.
