The Sladkus Law Group

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Start over. Learn trademark law and copyright law. Stop micromanaging a team of attorneys who all have far more substantive knowledge than you. Be fair to everyone. Stop favoring one person over everyone else.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Nothing good I can say about this place except that some excellent people used to work here and they all left.

What did you not like about this institution?
Bad culture. Owner of firm and senior associate have very little actual trademark and copyright law knowledge. They push all substantive work onto others and micromanage all administrative details of all work. Senior associate takes credit for everything but is essentially a glorified paralegal. The culture at this very small firm is very bad. I would not take a job here where they pay is low, benefits are terrible and everyone talks bad about everyone behind everyone's backs. Also, different rules in place for different people. Be very careful here.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
I believe the firm management is doing a great job. My advice would simply be to keep up the good work.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
I have been an attorney at The Sladkus Law Group for 8 years, starting right after graduation from law school. While I understand that our culture is not the right fit for everyone, it has been a great working environment for me. I work with a small group of intelligent, well educated attorneys that care about their clients and colleagues. Given our small size, all attorneys and support staff have an important role and work hands on with clients.

What did you not like about this institution?
The small size of our firm means that we are less structured than some larger firms. This does not work for everyone, as demonstrated by the prior reviewer, who worked at our firm for a very short time. I find that the flexibility and fluid structure are an advantage, but I can see how this would not work for some individuals that are more accustomed to a bigger firm environment.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
There are no partners to avoid. The managing partner is easy to work with and very knowledgeable in the field of trademark law.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
My favorite things about the firm are the flexibility given to each employee and being treated as an individual.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Just keep servicing your clients promptly and with excellent service. Keep fostering an excellent work life balance and listening to your employees.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Small trademark law firm with big firm experience. Attorneys and staff work very well together to provide our clients with prompt attention and superior service. The small firm environment allows employees to work with various types of matters and clients instead of being too specialized with one client or very specific types of matters. We work with clients all over the world and have developed incredibly strong relationships with these clients. We work very hard to service our clients while, at the same time, have an exceptional work life balance. Our managing partner truly cares about everyone's happiness. Definitely the best work culture and work life balance culture I have experienced. I can't imagine working anywhere else.

What did you not like about this institution?
There is not much I can say that could be considered the worst. If you are looking for a big firm environment that is not the firm for you.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
There are no partners in this firm to avoid. The managing partner is incredibly hard working and easy to work with.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
The small firm atmosphere gives each employee the opportunity to work on various matters and with all clients througout the U.S. and the world. The work life balance is the best I have experienced.
