We offer our staff an intellectually rigorous, respectful and collegial environment and believe that our collective attitude of positivity and open-mindedness plays a central role in our success. While we pride ourselves on hard work and dedication, we understand the importance of work-life balance and the role that plays in building a healthy, truly competent firm. Mentorship is valued highly here; we offer new staff the opportunity to learn alongside a senior attorney through our mentoring program.

At Dinse, we value our connections and our community. Our firm is embedded in the cultural and economic fabric of Vermont, and we have strong relationships throughout the state across industries and government.
