Employment arrangements

Members of the Visiting Lawyers Program become employees of Sullivan & Cromwell. For reasons relating to professional responsibility and confidentiality of client information, we do not normally accept lawyers who remain employed by another firm or employer (although they may, of course, be intending, or committed, to return to their former employer following their stay with S&C).

Members of the program are compensated at the same salary as regular U.S.-trained first-year associates. They receive the same benefits as regular associates, including health insurance. If necessary, our Legal Human Resources Team will assist members of the program to secure housing in New York City.

Candidates with visas that permit them to work in the U.S. should make us aware of this at the time of initial application. Please read the Firm's Visa Policy for Lawyers.
