- [Partner Why Benesch/Culture Quote – Michael Vatis – NY](https://www.beneschlaw.com/testimonial/partner-why-benesch-culture-quote-michael-vatis-ny/): “What drew me to Benesch was the firm’s ability to maintain its ‘really special’ culture while growing at a fast but sustainable clip. The firm is really growing fast—fast growing in terms of opening offices, bringing in new people—but we’re doing it in a different way that’s yielding great results. Something that convinced me that this is not at all just talk was the firm’s retention rate. With laterals, often what you see is it’s almost like a revolving door, where laterals come in, they don’t work out and leave after two years. At Benesch, despite the significant growth, our overall retention rate is just far, far above the industry standard.”
