The advice and counsel we provide to all areas of the firm is critical to maintaining our commitments to our clients, regulators, and shareholders and to promoting our culture of excellence and integrity. Our goal is to provide legal advice that protects the firm’s financial well-being and reputation and assists our various businesses in evaluating the risks associated with completing transactions and other activities.
We hire analysts, legal business services (LBS) professionals/paralegals and assistants. Our analyst program welcomes people from a variety of academic backgrounds and personal interests. Ideally, you should be interested in legal issues and the interaction of finance and the law, but a background in law and/or finance is not a prerequisite.
For our experienced hires, we generally do not hire directly from law schools, but instead hire attorneys who have experience in private practice. Our legal business services (LBS) professionals / paralegals are sourced from experienced paralegals and we hire experienced assistants.
We created Goldman Sachs University to help our people grow professionally – starting with their orientation and integration into the firm and continuing with ongoing development over the course of their careers.
From ongoing feedback to diverse talent programs, we’re committed to empowering our people to drive their own development and expand their horizons.
We emphasize an apprenticeship culture in which our junior team members learn by working closely with seasoned professionals. We believe this is critical to developing the next generation of Goldman Sachs leaders.
