Delaware Life – Endless Opportunities

Potter Anderson & Corroon attorneys enjoy the benefits of a sophisticated legal practice as well as the countless social and cultural opportunities Delaware has to offer.  Wilmington has a small town atmosphere, and has a wide variety of social and cultural activities, including, among others, the annual Italian Festival, the Greek Festival, the Wilmington Flower Market, the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival, and the Point-to-Point Steeplechase races at Winterthur Museum and Gardens.  Wilmington and its surrounding area are home to numerous museums and historic sites, including Winterthur,  Longwood Gardens, Hagley Museum and Library, the Brandywine River Museum, and Nemours Mansion and Gardens.  Wilmington is also home to top flight musical performances, traveling Broadway shows, and dramatic plays, which can be seen at the DuPont Theatre, the Delaware Theater Company, and the Grand Opera House.  Wilmington also has recently undergone a dramatic development of its Waterfront, where you can enjoy shopping, restaurants, and numerous cultural activities. 

In addition to the social and cultural activities available in the area, Wilmington is also centrally located on the “I-95 corridor,” allowing for convenient access to the major metropolitan areas between New York City and Washington, D.C.  In Philadelphia, only a 30-minute drive away, one can explore Independence Hall, the birthplace of our nation, attend major league sporting events, or stroll along Penn’s Landing.  New York, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. are also within convenient driving distance or a short train ride away.  If one enjoys the ocean, Wilmington is close to some of the best beaches on the east coast.  Many Potter Anderson & Corroon attorneys spend their summer weekends at the Delaware Beaches or Jersey Shore, which are within two hours of Wilmington.

Working in Wilmington also affords multiple housing options.  The low cost of living in Delaware allows Potter Anderson & Corroon associates the opportunity to own their own homes either in the city or within a short drive from the office in the Wilmington suburbs.  Whether it's a walk or drive to the office, one can live within minutes of work and never contend with the congestion of a major metropolitan area.  Life in Delaware provides associates with the ideal balance between a national legal practice and the relaxed living environment of a smaller town.
