“I found Sterlington to be a great combination of working with people who are incredibly smart and have an incredible vision for the future but are also extremely human and realize that there is more to life than logging hours in an office for 10-12 hours a day, year after year.”

Mari Bonthuis
Partner
“We practice law differently - we approach our clients’ problems and solve problems differently. It’s how we look through a business lens first and overlay the legal. We take all the things that we know work from big corporate law firms, adjust them, and create business-centered legal advocacy.”

Teresa "Teri" F. Santos
Partner
“During the global pandemic, we all got sent home to work remotely. Over that time, I realized we could offer excellent service to a client but also have a better quality of life. And that was one of the key determining factors for me wanting to join Sterlington.”

Callum McNeil
Partner
“Sterlington was intriguing; it just seemed like a unicorn – a law firm, with flexibility, working with high-level clients. And when I spoke to people here, they were fantastic, both in the terms of being pleasant people to work with and super smart.”

Erika Burk
Partner
“One doesn’t feel that [Big Law] type of pressure at Sterlington. You do what you do, you enjoy what you do, and you’re not trying to get around somebody, get over somebody, or impress somebody. There is little or no politics in Sterlington. As much as Big Law firms try to avoid politics – it’s inevitable.”
