"At Harter Secrest & Emery, my work matters."
Audrey Burns Leites, Paralegal

"My experience is valued. I am able to learn more and advance my contributions every day."
After studying at universities in New York City and Syracuse, I wanted to return to Rochester. I appreciate the accessibility of Rochester’s rich arts culture. We have “big city” opportunities to explore art, history and music, without the hassle of “big city” life. When I was ready to take my career to the next level, I knew that HSE was the place for me to do that. The firm invests in the individuals who work here. I was immediately given the training needed to take on complex and interesting projects that allow me to develop and master new work. My work at HSE allows me to learn about the world. I love to travel and am an avid reader.
