Substance first.
Research should answer the issue. Drafting should move the matter. Preparation should make the next decision easier.
Careers
Careers
For people who read closely, think independently and take responsibility for the quality of their work.
Join CRUX
Build judgment.
Not just a résumé.
Not just a résumé.
We look for people who are curious about the law, rigorous with facts and willing to take responsibility for the quality of their work. CRUX is designed around close engagement with matters, not distance from them.
Applications are considered against the firm's current requirements. Submission of an application does not imply that a vacancy is presently available.
Close to the matter.
We value exposure to the facts, the documents, the legal question and the strategic consequence—not isolated tasks without context.
Precision under pressure.
Good legal work requires accuracy, judgment and the discipline to distinguish what is important from what merely looks important.
Responsibility grows with readiness.
We value initiative, but responsibility is earned through preparation, reliability and the ability to improve with feedback.
Pathways
Different stages.
One standard.
Whether you are beginning legal training or developing an established practice, we are interested in people who want to understand why the work matters—not simply complete it.
Learn by doing the real work.
Internship applications are considered from law students seeking meaningful exposure to legal research, drafting, case preparation and the working discipline of a legal practice.
Practice with ownership.
For lawyers who value substantive responsibility, careful drafting, strong research and direct engagement with contentious or advisory matters.
Bring capability that strengthens the institution.
Where the firm's requirements call for research, operations or other professional capability, relevant applications may also be considered.
What We Value
Preparation is visible.
Legal curiosity.
The instinct to ask the next question and test the first answer.
Written precision.
Clear thinking expressed without unnecessary complication.
Reliability.
Work that can be trusted when the matter becomes urgent.
Professional judgment.
Knowing when to research further, when to ask, and when a point is material.
Application Process
Tell us what you have done.
And what you want to learn.
Keep the application relevant. We are more interested in evidence of careful work, genuine interest and a clear reason for applying than in exaggerated descriptions.
