At CFM, our lawyers act on behalf of plaintiffs in product liability, class action, aviation and international human rights cases. We are a small but specialized firm that is facing selective and sustained growth. The litigation cases at CFM are interesting and complex.
Why Work at CFM Lawyers?
The mark of a great workplace is great people. At CFM Lawyers we pride ourselves on working a little differently and turning our focus toward what matters most to us: the people we work for and work with. We take our work seriously and have built a tight-knit team of people who are collaborative, progressive and open-minded. Our team values mentorship and consensus building as essential tools for the workplace. Organization and collaboration are key as our lawyers manage a high case load with many moving parts and strict deadlines. We also make sure to take time to connect and de‑stress with a lightly competitive ping pong game or a game of fetch with one of our many office dogs.
