    An artist can create a masterpiece that stands the test of time. They make it look easy, but it’s talent, along with many years of experience, that allows them to gain a reputation as an expert in their field.These are the same attributes many people want from a law firm, experience so extensive that problem-solving looks effortless, yet backed by an energy that permeates every aspect of the firm.Our clients consider Curwoods to be a young, vibrant firm. Our 180 employees (and growing) are encouraged to provide innovative solutions for clients. This is supported by the decades of knowledge of founding partner Clive Curwood and our senior practitioners.Then, there’s our Artist-in-Residence program. What better way to encourage our lawyers to take a different perspective than to introduce an artistic thinker into the work environment. Our lawyers benefit, our artist benefits and our clients benefit.These are just a few examples of how Curwoods takes ‘a different perspective’ when solving problems for our clients. Perhaps that’s why we have so many long-term relationships.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Curwoods lawyers appreciate the friendly and supportive colleagues and good culture. The partners are praised for being nice, living the firm's values, and creating a respectful workplace. However, some potential challenges include a perceived lack of strategic direction, which can lead to losing good staff. Additionally, there is a heavy workload with an expectation of seven billable hours per day. While partners are praised, there are indications that management of senior lawyers could be improved. Finally, with the changing legal market, some employees may struggle with adapting to new procedures and ways of delivering legal services.
