Welcome to Reed Smith University.
A major reason why we have become a leading world-class law firm is that we never stop learning about our clients, our industry, our technology, and, yes, even our own abilities. Reed Smith University is the embodiment of our commitment to excel through education, and to give our personnel the tools they need to reach their full potential.
Currently, our student body population numbers more than 2,000 personnel in 20 cities on three continents. We also serve thousands of clients with billions of dollars at stake in increasingly sophisticated business and legal environments. To serve them well, we need to understand their businesses and industries, provide excellent legal advice, help them achieve their objectives—and not rest on our laurels. We must always be looking for ways to “raise our game” to an even higher level.
Without question, Reed Smith University is a key initiative in meeting these challenges. Because of the importance of continuing education to our future, firm personnel will be able to take the courses offered without cost. Benefiting from a partnership with the highly respected Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the university will serve all of Reed Smith’s people and offer a curriculum that will:
- Provide exceptional opportunities for professional development
- Respond to the needs of our clients
- Create common experiences and standards across a growing firm
- Challenge us to improve still further
- Help attract the highest caliber of people
Together, these will distinguish our firm, creating what we call “the Reed Smith Edge.”
By providing the opportunities that Reed Smith University presents, we are making a significant investment toward the success of our employees and partners. We believe that it is an excellent investment.
