Farella Braun + Martel LLP

The best path to joining Farella Braun + Martel as a first-year attorney is through participation in our summer associate program. Our program introduces law students to a range of the firm's activities and enables us to assess their fit at the firm. At the same time, our program allows students to decide whether Farella is the right fit for them. Over the course of the summer, summer associates rotate into different practice groups every two weeks, working with attorneys on a variety of projects that involve actual client matters. We provide summer associates with the same kind of billable client work that an associate performs. Summer associates also participate in out-of-office experiences that may include attending depositions, court hearings, and client meetings. We offer practical experience to help our summer associates gain an accurate view of what the practice will be like as an associate with the firm.
