About The Firm

At McCarthy Lebit, we understand that our team of attorneys and administrative professionals are an invaluable asset for not only the success of the firm, but for the success of our clients. As we continue to expand our service capabilities, we aim to attract new talent to complement both our attorney ranks and our administrative support.

As an equal opportunity employer, we continue to seek experienced lawyers and support staff to take leadership roles in established and evolving practice areas. If you are a mid-career attorney, you will likely appreciate our democratic approach in which all of our attorneys enjoy a high degree of autonomy. If you are attorney with an established practice, and you’re considering making a move, we’d love to hear from you. Click below to start the conversation about your potential future at McCarthy Lebit.

Firm Culture Is Our Differentiator

Our culture is what separates us from the pack. Our firm culture emphasizes high level performance, yet we value and embrace a healthy work-life balance. Our attorneys and staff share an unrelenting drive to exceed our clients’ expectations and deliver them more peace of mind and time to focus on the things that matter most – their families, businesses and personal well-being. To do this, we rely heavily on collaboration, our collective experience and diversity.

While we are very serious about the work we do for our clients, we also know when to take a time out from business and connect with our  colleagues in our tight-knit office community.  Our firm has a history of fellowship engagement internally, which is our way to ensure we stay connected to our small-firm roots and take time to really engage and get to know those we work so closely with.  In addition to traditional, annual holiday celebrations, we have sponsored and hosted other seasonal office networking and fellowship events, where all employees of the firm are encouraged to relax, participate, and enjoy each other’s company. 

Charitable Endeavors

The firm supports the individual interests of our staff. All our employees are encouraged to be active in their local communities and charitable interests. At the firm level, McCarthy Lebit is involved in four primary charities and dozens of  community events throughout the year.  Each year, the firm’s attorneys and staff vote for worthy causes, philanthropies, and charities that serve our community as the benefactors of our efforts.  These organizations have included the American Heart Association, InMotion (support for those with Parkinson’s Disease), Cleveland Food Bank’s “Harvest for Hunger,” Providence House (a crisis nursery that advocates for child abuse prevention and family preservation), The Gathering Place (provides support and education for victims and families living with cancer), ORT-Ohio (provides access to education programs in under-resourced communities around the world), 

In 2019, the firm earned Harvest for Hunger’s Edmond V. Worley Award for our sustained commitment and leadership in the organization’s annual fund-raising campaign.

Accolades

McCarthy Lebit has received recognition by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Law Firm® based on their renowned peer-review methodology. Each year, the number of the firm’s attorneys recognized by the annual editions of Best Lawyers in America® continues to grow and multiple attorneys have been recognized as “Lawyer of the Year” for their practice area in Cleveland, OH.

Additionally, our attorney representation on the Ohio Super Lawyers® list sees steady annual growth as well. This achievement is remarkable as only 5% of attorneys statewide are honored on the list each year. Three of our attorneys scored so well, they were included on the Top 100 Ohio Lawyers list, and one of them – Christian R. Patno – ranked #3 in the entire state of Ohio. Suffice it to say, any attorney who joins McCarthy Lebit will become part of an esteemed and highly-regarded group of attorneys consistently ranked among the best within their respective areas of practice.
