BENEFITS
Outstanding benefits for outstanding talent.
To support our attorneys and business professionals, we provide an exciting and collaborative work environment with a competitive salary and benefits package.
Health & Wellness
MTO offers generous medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for all personnel and their families (including domestic partners) from their first day of employment. Our healthcare benefits strive to offer equal access regardless of sexual orientation, gender, gender identify or expression, and include gender-affirming care.
Attorneys and business professionals are encouraged to participate in programs throughout the year including on-site and virtual yoga, gym membership, walking programs and annual flu shots and biometric screening. MTO is proud to have been a signatory of the ABA’s Well-Being in the Legal Profession Pledge since 2019.
MTO offers a firm-paid confidential service available 24/7 to support our people and their household family members. Highly-qualified concierge coaches help individuals in all aspects of life, including handling life events and work with resilience, optimizing relationships and showing up as your best self.
The firm is proud to offer a very generous allowance for individuals seeking assistance with family-forming services such as cryopreservation, invitro fertilization, adoption and surrogacy. These services are offered to all employees.
In addition to lactation facilities, MTO offers in-office refrigerators, door-locks on private offices and Milk Stork for work travel.
MTO offices are located in LEEDS-certified buildings. Our offices are maintained to an immaculate standard and employ environmentally friendly business practices, supporting both short- and long-term wellness goals.
Financial Benefits
In addition to competitive base pay, employees share in the success of the firm through incentive compensation programs including annual bonuses, holiday gifts, spot bonuses and more.
MTO supports the long-term financial wellness of our attorneys and business professionals with generous retirement plan contributions.
MTO provides firm-paid short- and long-term disability insurance programs, life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Access to a range of voluntary supplemental coverages is also offered at preferential rates for plans including critical illness, long-term care, hospital and accident insurance.
Attorneys and senior management are provided firm-paid personal excess liability coverage, with optional additional voluntary coverage available at preferential group rates.
The firm offers a monthly transportation stipend or paid onsite parking for eligible employees.
Eligible employees choosing to use their own cellphone receive a monthly stipend.
Work/Life Integration
Our employees benefit from various opportunities to take paid time off including holidays, vacation and sick and personal emergency time. The firm also offers a generous leave of absence policy if needed to take care of medical issues or your family, including parental leave for new parents. Attorneys are offered additional mentoring support when transitioning to and from a leave of absence.
Subsidized back-up care is available to help take care of children, elders or pets in the event of a temporary schedule disruption, and for our own employees if the need arises. Back-up care days also convert into tutoring hours for children and adults.
To support its working parents, MTO founded this state-of-the-art childcare facility and early education center near the firm’s offices in downtown Los Angeles.
MTO attorneys and many support professionals are able to work a hybrid schedule between the office and home, as well as manage their own time off around work commitments.
Attorneys who work an agreed reduced-hours schedule can remain on track toward partnership. The firm actively monitors the reduced-hours program to assist attorneys in not exceeding their targeted hours while continuing to build their practice.
MTO fosters a friendly and supportive environment marked by teamwork, cooperation and justifiable pride in our firm and its values. Our people enjoy regular firm-provided lunches, social events throughout the year and a business casual dress policy. MTO is also proud to sponsor local fundraising events such as the annual Run for Justice and the Food From The Bar drive and more.
Professional Development
MTO is a certified provider of continuing legal education (CLE), offered conveniently throughout the year to our attorneys on current topics and areas that are highly relevant to remaining at the forefront of the legal community. Attorneys are encouraged to further their subject matter expertise and career accomplishments by participating in the development and delivery of CLE for their colleagues, with support from qualified training professionals.
Associates are assigned an Attorney Development and Inclusion team liaison during their first year at the firm. This resource provides onboarding and integration support and can continue throughout the associate’s MTO career.
MTO covers each mandatory State Bar membership at 100%, and half of additional State Bar dues. The Firm pays for half of each membership in other organizations (e.g., the ABA or the Los Angeles County Bar Association), including voluntary sections. The Firm also provides reimbursement for reasonable continuing education expenses, and attorneys are covered by the Firm’s malpractice insurance policy.
Regular training and development opportunities are offered to attorneys and business professionals as part of their employment at MTO. Business Professionals are encouraged to maintain skills, knowledge and professional certifications relevant to their role and function.
