- Excellence
- Opportunities
- Stability
- Integrity
- Flexibility
If you want additional information, we have more words to say about why a career with Cades is the right choice.
Excellence
If there's a single trait all Cades attorneys have in common, it's the drive to do top-notch work and be leaders in their field. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed:
- The Best Lawyers of America® 2009 lists 21 Cades attorneys among its ranks in 40 practice areas--more attorneys than any other Hawaii law firm. Many Cades attorneys have earned this distinction for over ten years.
- The Chambers and Partners USA Guide recognizes Cades Schutte as a leading law firm in Hawaii in the areas of litigation, real estate, bankruptcy/restructuring, corporate/commercial, and employment law.
- Hawaii Business Magazine named Cades as one of the Top 250 Companies of Hawaii. Cades is the top-ranked law firm on the list (and one of only two).
Opportunities
Our broad client base yields opportunities to work on a rich variety of matters, including some of the most sophisticated cases and transactions around town and even in the nation. Few Hawaii law firms, if any, can match the breadth and depth of the legal work that Cades attorneys handle for their clients. Our attorneys are also able to tap into the wealth of expertise and experience within the firm to find solutions to the most demanding legal problems.
Stability
Cades is the most stable firm of its size in Hawaii. Never since its founding in 1922 has the firm experienced a major split in its partnership. No group of three or more attorneys has ever left Cades to form another firm or legal practice. Cades' institutional strength flows from its emphasis on developing its attorneys "from the ground up," its democratic approach to management, and a firm culture that rewards merit, promotes collegiality, and embraces diversity.
Integrity
Deeply ingrained in our firm culture is the belief that best practices in the legal profession include a high regard for ethics. We emphasize character training in our firm policies and training. Our reputation is not just for good work, but for integrity and responsible advocacy as well.
Flexibility
Cades understands that a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, whether in finding solutions to our clients' legal problems or maintaining a healthy work environment. The need for flexibility has led Cades to adopt progressive workplace initiatives, such as an associate part-time policy and a generous family/medical leave policy. Our state-of-the-art technology enables our attorneys to stay connected to clients and deal with developments as they occur. When circumstances change, Cades is prepared to respond. |
