"Look for the Best Person" — ZMM Firm Policy, 1952
When founders Harold O. Ziegler and Roger L. Metzger first wrote the policy excerpted above, they set in place a durable tradition. As a result, our firm has cultivated an excellent reputation and enjoyed remarkable growth and success over the last half-century.
We look for outstanding academic credentials and intelligence, a commitment to ethics and the highest levels of integrity in all potential new associates.
We only hire associates who we believe are capable of dealing well with clients on a personal level and building their own practices over time. We choose associates who will "fit in" with ZMM's culture of comradery and hard work. And we take on all new hires with the expectation that one day, they will become a partner.
As a result of this approach, our turnover rates are very low. Our attorneys stay with us for most if not all of their careers. This enables ZMM to form strong, meaningful, long-lasting bonds with clients over a period of years and decades.
