The Sheppard Mullin Difference

Sheppard Mullin is a full-service law firm with over 1000 attorneys working in 16 offices worldwide.  

But what is the Sheppard Mullin difference?

The answer is: YOU. Our clients are our focus. We believe in service, service and...more service.

We are a firm that truly puts clients first. And this sets us apart. We don’t just give lip service to client service. Every attorney and staff member has a plaque in his/her work space listing what we, along with our clients, consider to be Service Essentials. We regularly give “Clients First” awards to attorneys and staff who “go the extra mile” for our clients. Client service is part of our culture and permeates everything we do.

At the end of the day, however, these are just words. It’s all about how we work with you. Service is job number one. You will be able to tell once we meet you and begin working together.
