The Firm Says
Our summer program is designed to give students a real taste of what it is like to practice at DWT. Through relevant client projects, pro bono, networking, social events, and a robust training program, our summer associates get the tools they need to succeed in legal practice. While we work hard, we also believe in life outside of the firm (as evidenced by our firm kickball team, sponsorship of bike and road races for our employees, volunteer work, and our annual Summer Associate Retreat).
