At Holwell Shuster & Goldberg, summer associates are the future. We are committed to promoting talent from within. We identify our partners from our base of talented associates, and we identify many associates from our summer associate program. (We have also hired multiple former paralegals as summer associates, as another demonstration of our commitment to promoting from within.) Accordingly, we value our summer associates greatly and invest in their growth. Our summer associates receive the same work assignments that a first-year associate would, which means they are given meaningful responsibility. Summer associates spend significant time at depositions and hearings and are substantively involved in witness preparation, trial preparation, briefing, and more.

Beyond case teams, we provide structured support to summer associates through assigned partner and associate mentors. We plan a robust schedule of social events to ensure that our lawyers get to know our summer associates personally, and vice versa.
