Careers

Our Mission

At Farrell Fritz, we recognize that in order to advance our firm’s mission, there is no more critical goal than attracting and retaining the highest quality people at all levels and in all areas of our practice. To meet this goal, we are committed to providing all our employees with competitive compensation, the opportunity for growth, as well as a highly congenial and comfortable work environment.

The firm frequently seeks to fill positions for talented attorneys, paralegals and professional staff at all of our locations, which span from Albany to the East End of Long Island. We empower all our employees to apply their skills to the best of their ability; we value their opinions and their contributions, and we want them to feel very much “a part of the family.”

Farrell Fritz has established Diversity Scholarships at Hofstra Law and Touro Law Schools. Scholarships are awarded annually by the law schools to a student from a minority community who demonstrates academic achievement and/or financial need.
