Looking Good at Cleary Gottlieb
Much of what this blog is about is appearances: looking good.
Most law firms put great emphasis on appearances. They expect their attorneys to show up for work with their hair styled and their shoes polished.
One big firm that claims not to care about appearances is Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton.
Recently, Mark Walker, the firm’s managing partner, sent an e-mail to everyone at the firm about appearances. He wrote, “The firm rejects the idea that appearance or personal style is indicative of an individual’s qualities or talents as a person or lawyer.”
So . . . if you happen to be a law student, your hairdo is a green Mohawk, you’ve got rings in your eyebrows, nose, and lips . . . consider a career at Cleary Gottlieb.
