Our Survey Says
- “Summer associates were relied upon and given a lot of substantive assignments. Partner mentorship is extremely important and emphasized. You feel like a valued member of the team.”
- “Ashurst offices in the U.S. only take on a few summer associates, so our training and work assignments are substantive, educational, and impactful. We also receive personalized feedback from senior associates.”
- “The firm attorneys are all patient and helpful in teaching about infrastructure law. They involve summer associates as part of the team while also providing team-building activities during the summer.”
- “Summers are taken out on a lot of lunches. We have events every two weeks, which are usually pretty enjoyable. Summers are constantly being taken out for coffee/lunch with partners around the office.”
- “My favorite summer event was the paint-and-sip, which is an ongoing summer event for Ashurst's LA office.”
- “Cooking class, axe throwing, paint-and-sip.”
- “Summer associates get an introduction to substantive work that they will delve into more as full-time associates. Summer associate hours are also shorter than full-time associate hours. That said, Ashurst has great work-life balance for associates in general.”
