Our innovative model has been proven by a long, successful track record that covers a broad variety of complex legal issues.
● Flexibility. Summit invests in our attorneys long term and is open to flexible arrangements - we recognize that everyone has different periods of their career where they need to spend more or less time on their work and in achieving work-life balance.
