Summer Associate Program

Profile

Summer Associate Program

The firm offers a ten-week summer program that combines high-quality client work, professional activities outside the office and fun, often unique, social activities. The summer associates participate fully in a sophisticated and diverse legal practice, and gain realistic insight into life at the firm. The program is designed primarily for second-year law students, although first-year students (and to a lesser extent), third-year students, sometimes also participate. Summer associates complete high-quality writing assignments that can span nearly every department in the law firm - from commercial, appellate and employment litigation, to corporate finance, real estate, bankruptcy and intellectual property. Summer associates also participate in real world lawyer experiences, such as attending deal closings, strategic meetings with clients, depositions, trials and arbitrations to provide an understanding of the work they will perform if they continue their career at the firm. Summer associates work an average of 35-40 hours per week and complete 10 to 15 substantive assignments over the course of the summer.
