Why Practice in Pittsburgh

Mark Phillis

I returned to Western Pennsylvania to practice law after being away for ten years. I was pleasantly surprised at what Pittsburgh has to offer young professionals. Its arts and cultural scene is vibrant, and its offerings far exceed what you might expect from a city our size – from concerts, plays, and dance to visual arts, you will find it in Pittsburgh. From a professional perspective, I learned, and others will see, that not only can you succeed, but you can thrive by bringing your whole self to work in this community.
