When it comes to technology in the workplace, it doesn’t get much more advanced than the work done at Total Attorneys. The law practice management solutions company provides small firms and attorneys with software that helps them manage their practice more efficiently. The company even provides a virtual receptionist technology that allows lawyers to spend less time on the phone and more time practicing. The receptionist can set appointments and answer calls among other receptionist duties (www.totalattorneys.com). With Generation Y being the digital natives that they are, it is no wonder that this line of work would be attractive.

The company is composed of over 30% Generation Y employees. Total Attorneys Founder and CEO Ed Scanlan understands how to create a work culture that young employees can appreciate because he himself is in the Gen Y age group. The Total Attorneys office is described as laid back, fast-paced, agile, and fun. Gen Y employees can feel comfortable in their roles knowing that there is a rock-solid mentoring and coaching program in place to ensure that they are equipped with all tools necessary to complete any given task. Together, everyone works towards the common goal of “helping attorneys build successful law practices,” with their cutting edge software and technology, (www.totalattorneys.com).

One of the most impressive features of Total Attorneys is what it does outside of the office. The company has partnered with Kwagala Project (formerly the Purse of Hope) to create the Total Impact House. The Total Impact House is a home in Uganda to shelter victims of sex trade that was founded in 2009 (www.totalattorneys.com). The goal of founders Ed Scanlan and Kirsten Hendricks (Kwagala Project) is to make corporate philanthropy about physically getting involved. In addition to this endeavor, employees at Total Attorneys can also get their community service fix with Toys for Tots, Habitat for Humanity, Off the Streets Club, and pro bono legal services (www.totalattorneys.com). 

The technology solutions company’s socially responsible practices aren’t the only reason their Generation Y employees tend to stick around for over three years (an above average rate), the company’s competitive benefits package and offerings for its employees pack quite the punch. Employees receive ample paid vacation days, a paid vacation day on their birthday and enjoy summer reduced hours.

The company’s “Corporate Culture” web page explains it all. When you work at Total Attorneys, you can expect to have fun. Employees can enjoy sporting tournaments of all kinds, ranging from golf to foosball. Total Attorneys also puts a charitable twist on their social events by having talent shows for charity. Generation Y employees who seek employment with Total Attorneys can expect to be challenged professionally as well as personally. It is the combination of working, playing and giving that makes Totally Attorneys one of the most Generation Y-friendly places to work in the city.
