INDEX From Our Chairman......................................................................................................................I Kaufman & Canoles At A Glance.................................................................................................II Office Addresses.........................................................................................................................III Virginia Sampler..........................................................................................................................IV kaufCAN.com We can. And we will. Kaufman & Canoles was created January 1, 1982 through the merger of two Norfolk firms, Kaufman & Oberndorfer and Canoles, Mastracco, Martone, Barr and Russell. The Kaufman firm was established by Charles L. Kaufman in 1919; the Canoles firm by Leroy T. Canoles, Jr. in 1951. The firm, obviously rich in history, has a progressive attitude toward growth and has clearly established its place as one of the preeminent firms in Eastern Virginia. From Our Chairman In our continued pursuit of excellence, we recognize that our people are our most valuable assets. Our record of recruiting and retaining individuals whose talents extend beyond strong academic records to include leadership, communication, and judgment has produced a collegial firm with an extraordinarily positive work environment, and boundless opportunities to assume leadership roles in the communities we serve. That perspective and the nature of the communities in which we live also afford an opportunity to appropriately balance our many commitments to work, civic life, and family. Success and happiness for individuals embarking upon a legal career at Kaufman & Canoles, or any other law firm depends on two critical aspects: mentoring an associate’s development in the practice of law; and mentoring and supporting the associate’s acquisition of business development skills. Kaufman & Canoles provides a career- enhancing program for associates designed to foster each associate’s success. Helping associates integrate these critical aspects into the practice of law – juggling many responsibilities – is of value to the associate and the firm. Each associate is matched with a lawyer mentor to enhance his or her professional development. Assisting an associate in establishing a market focus represents a commitment of the firm; communicating Kaufman & Canoles’ interest in helping associates develop their career beyond mere “billable hours.” We strive to reinforce the long-term benefits these aspects bring to associates’ careers and the firm, not only in regard to earning potential, but also in their contribution to a more interesting and rewarding legal practice. The long tenure so many of our lawyers have enjoyed with the firm is a reflection of that positive and supportive culture. We hope you will continue to explore the possibility of a legal career with Kaufman & Canoles. William R. Van Buren, III, Chairman kaufCAN.com We have always subscribed to the theory that our strength is derived from our people. Kaufman & Canoles is a place where individuals enjoy what they do and the people with whom they work. It’s a place where longevity is the rule, not the exception. We can. And we will. With eight offices in diverse locations throughout Virginia, our attorneys and staff have the choice to live and work in a metropolitan area by the sea, where the culture is rich – or a more rural area, steeped in history and “southern hospitality.” Kaufman & Canoles is an equal opportunity employer.
