Careers
“Chicago-based litigation shop Goldman Ismail Tomaselli Brennan & Baum has since expanded to Los Angeles and Dallas, yet still retains the character of a true boutique, with trial readiness remaining central to its ethos.”

Rewarding because the challenges we face on behalf of our clients utilize the full measure of our knowledge and talents. Rewarding because our compensation is commensurate with our highly-prized experience and litigation skills. Rewarding because we care about and invest in the long-term careers of our firm personnel.

Opportunity
At Goldman Ismail, our goal is twofold: to achieve successful results for our clients and to provide our attorneys with ample opportunities to excel, sharpen their skills, and build rewarding careers.
Achieve
Because our firm specializes in litigation, we face do-or-die challenges on a regular basis, often in mass tort and class action cases where the stakes are very high. These challenges also present opportunities for our attorneys to leverage their knowledge and experience to succeed individually and together.
Collaborate
We offer attorneys the opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the legal profession. Our lawyers work in cohesive teams on every aspect of a case. Ask any Goldman Ismail attorney, and they will tell you that our collaborative process, with its energy and productive exchange of ideas, is as gratifying as our courtroom victories.
Grow
As a firm that handles cases of enormous size and complexity, we offer numerous opportunities for our lawyers to grow as professional litigators. There is no limit to what the lawyers we hire can accomplish at Goldman Ismail.
Diversity
A diverse and inclusive workplace fosters a positive environment and an atmosphere of collegiality that inspires people to do their best work. That is the type of environment we value at Goldman Ismail, and we are committed to providing a diverse environment that allows our lawyers and our staff to thrive.
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, age, or disability. We welcome a wide cross-section of candidates to enhance the diversity of our firm.
Wellness
Without individual physical and mental wellness, our team cannot reach its full potential. Our well-being approach includes layered strategies and resources to support stress management, fitness and nutrition, time management, conflict resolution, and other factors relevant to wellness. Goldman Ismail has signed the ABA Well-being Pledge and continually seeks ways to honor that commitment and to support our team members.
Attorneys
Our attorneys are the driving force behind our success as a firm. Their razor-sharp intellect, superb litigation skills, and fierce dedication to our clients’ interests have enabled us to achieve an impressive record of courtroom victories.
As we continue to build our thriving practice, we look to hire individuals with personal and professional attributes that complement those of our existing staff. In each hire we make, we ensure that we uphold the following professional standards that have become our trademark.
Accomplishment
We are selective, choosing lawyers who have established a notable track record of academic achievement and who want early case responsibilities and varied professional opportunities. Because of the complex, high-profile nature of our caseload, each litigation team member must develop the experience and judgment needed to make vital contributions to the strategic development and execution of every case.
Team
We are collaborative and value individuals who excel as part of a litigation team. We work together toward a common purpose, with each attorney bringing to the table his or her own unique skill set and talents. We assemble teams in which our attorneys’ strengths complement one another, so we can draw on a range of skills in achieving our shared goal: a speedy and favorable resolution for our clients.
Drive
We look for highly motivated individuals with the drive and determination to win at trial or help achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. We distinguish ourselves by being relentless in our efforts to achieve success in the courtroom. We know how much is riding on each case, and we leave no stone unturned in our quest for victory.
