Goulston & Storrs congratulates its client, WS Development, on the groundbreaking of Legacy Place - a lifestyle shopping center in Dedham, Massachusetts.

Podcast: Is Diversity Really a Priority at Goulston & Storrs?

"The founding of Goulston & Storrs, 107 years ago was basically an attempt to create a law firm that would be open to everyone."

Podcast: As a woman of color, what are your chances of becoming partner?

"I feel like the chances of me becoming partner are just as good as someone who is white and the fact that I am of color will not have any impact on that decision."

Podcast: How open is Goulston & Storrs to discussing color, race & diversity?

"I think it has to be confronted head on because it’s the elephant in the room. And if you don’t discuss it, it’s just not an honest conversation."

Podcast: What is it like being a minority woman at Goulston & Storrs?

"Like everywhere else, it’s difficult to walk around where nobody looks like you. The difference is at Goulston & Storrs the firm cares about increasing diversity."

Podcast: How are minorities treated at Goulston & Storrs?

"The whole idea that I come from a foreign country and I have an accent is invisible in my daily life. It just doesn’t count. I’ve never been treated differently."

Podcast: What are the benefits of having a one-to-one partner/associate ratio?

“As a junior associate, if you’re in litigation, you’re going to write complaints, answer complaints, make motions, stand up in court, go to depositions a lot earlier than you are if you work at a place that has a more traditional model.”

Podcast: Do associates have a meaningful role as part of a team?

“You can’t just be a number at Goulston and Storrs… their reliance on young associates and partners alike creates an atmosphere that requires every person to put effort into the culture.”

Podcast: How does work get allocated? Could I get stuck doing work for only one partner?

“…somebody is looking out to make sure you’re not working with the same person over and over and you’re not doing the same exact thing over and over again.”

Podcast: Do partners really have time to train me, or are they too busy?

“It’s not just about getting the deal done. It’s about helping associates learn what the project is about.”
