The Firm Says
Each year, Choate recruits an exceptionally talented, accomplished, and diverse summer class. Our summer program is designed to prepare this group for a successful career when they return to the firm after law school. The firm’s program includes intensive training from day one (on-the-job and formal sessions) and an opportunity to receive substantive, individualized opportunities to do impactful work for our clients. Our balanced associate-to-partner ratio ensures that summer associates work directly with partners and associates at all levels. As part of our strong commitment to mentoring, each summer associate is assigned three mentors: a partner mentor, a mid-level associate mentor, and a junior associate mentor with whom they meet routinely. In addition to client work and training and mentoring, summer associates build lasting relationships in the Choate and Boston communities through social events, volunteer and pro bono experiences.
