Why Work at PF+C?
At PF+C, we employ one of the top legal teams in the Northeast and are committed to providing stellar service to our clients in the United States, Canada, and beyond. Our professionals are intelligent, hard-working, entrepreneurial, and strongly committed to their profession, their families, and the communities they serve. We believe we have the best of both worlds: we do top-notch, sophisticated legal work, while also enjoying all the benefits that life in Vermont offers – from the peaks of the Green Mountains to the shores of Lake Champlain and all the sweeping landscapes in between.
We emphasize teamwork and collaboration at all levels of the firm. Our team-centric practice groups give new employees opportunities to develop professionally through guidance, training, and mentoring by our talented legal team. We also recognize that our strength as a team ultimately derives from the unique talents, diverse backgrounds, and insights each of our team members brings to the table – at PF+C, diversity is an asset.
We also care about – and prioritize – balance. Our work is demanding, but at PF+C we are proud to have cultivated an environment that enables employees to flourish professionally, while also leading robust personal and family lives. PF+C provides flexible remote/hybrid working arrangements, and actively encourages employees to take advantage of our generous vacation benefits. We also provide paid time off for new parents and for employees who are caring for children or aging family members.
PF+C has been rooted in the greater Burlington, Vermont community for 55 years, and we are firmly committed to our local community. We hold PF+C team volunteering events at local charitable organizations, our employees devote hundreds of hours of service each year to Vermont charitable and non-profit organizations, and we are a proud Champion member of Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR). All employees are provided eight hours of paid time annually to serve a community organization of their choosing.
