McKinsey is recognized as the global leader in management consulting. As a McKinsey consultant, you will work with senior executives and officials at leading companies and public institutions on their most challenging problems.

McKinsey has a long and successful history of hiring law students and is the leading business employer of lawyers from top law schools, leading law firms, and U.S. Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and District Court clerkships. Today, there are over 270 consultants worldwide with degrees in law.

As a management consultant, you will interact with clients immediately. Career track and compensation are driven by performance, not by billable hours. You have input on the industry, function, and location of your projects. And you will have a more predictable schedule shaped by your team and agreed upon in advance with the client.
