Summer Associate Positions for Law Students

Profile

Gain valuable experience, make meaningful connections, and launch your future legal career as a Summer Associate at Fraser Stryker.

Get Practical, Hands-On Experience

The Fraser Stryker Summer Associate program is structured to give summer associates a realistic experience, which is comparable to that of a first-year attorney. To cultivate legal knowledge and explore interests, we expose our summer associates to a variety of diverse practice areas while they collaborate with our seasoned attorneys.

Participating in the Firm’s day-to-day business operations helps our summer associates develop their legal proficiency. The Program’s goal is to provide a mixture of challenging, investigative and practical work assignments. Summer associates are also given the opportunity to attend depositions, hearings, trials, negotiations, and arbitrations.  And because we understand how crucial client interaction is for summer associate development, we involve our summer associates with client meetings, conferences, and other client-related events.

Responsive Mentoring and Feedback

Each summer associate is assigned mentors to help facilitate both professional and social integration into the Firm. Program mentors provide summer associates with guidance on assigned projects and offer ongoing constructive feedback to help improve their skills. Summer associates are given a mid-summer and final evaluation to provide formal feedback from their Program mentors.

Fraser Stryker has developed a corporate culture of continuous learning, which is why our attorneys take an active interest in promoting the professional development of our summer associates. We encourage summer associates to proactively pursue feedback from our attorneys throughout their time at the Firm.

Social Events and Community Involvement

We know that a job is about much more than the work, it’s also about the people you work with each day. For summer associates, getting to know our attorneys provides a broader sense of Fraser Stryker’s culture and work environment. We host a range of social events for summer associates to get to know each other and our attorneys on a personal level. We have signature events, like our tailgate at the

College World Series

, and many impromptu events, such as lunches and happy hours.

As stated on our

Community Service

page, giving back to our community is ingrained in the culture at Fraser Stryker. Besides the pro bono work opportunities provided to summer associates, we organize numerous tours to introduce summer associates to some of our nonprofit clients, such as the

Nebraska Humane Society

, and

Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo

. To truly experience the power of community service, every summer a team of partners, associates, and summer associates devote time to volunteering at a local nonprofit, including

Habitat for Humanity

and

Food Bank for the Heartland

The number one thing that attracted me to Fraser Stryker was the firm’s people. The people here genuinely enjoy working together, and the same is true for the law clerks. People are appreciated for who they are, and I have always felt I can be myself here.

Chelsey B. Borchardt, 2020-2021 Summer Associate

Throughout my interview process and my prior experiences with Fraser attorneys, I began to notice that Fraser attorneys were both extremely smart and very friendly.  I came to Fraser so I could learn under some of the smartest attorneys in Nebraska while still having a joyful experience.”

Colin Kozol, 2021 Summer Associate

The best piece of advice I received from my Fraser Stryker attorney mentor(s) was to work with as many people at the firm as possible. This allowed for exposure across many practice areas. Working with an array of attorneys also allowed exposure to different techniques, skills, and preferences of legal professionals.

Emily O’Neal, 2021 Summer Associate

I was assigned a wide variety of projects such as non-profit organization, policy research and writing, drafting demand letters, and drafting contracts, just to name a few. This allowed me to gain a wide variety of legal experience.”

William Kathrein, 2021 Summer Associate

I was able to get my hands on a lot of work in practice areas that I was interested in. I am particularly interested in estate planning and real estate, and I was able to work alongside attorneys who not only introduced me to related projects, but also entrusted me to do real work product for the clients.
