The Firm Says
Our nationally recognized summer program offers law students the chance to do meaningful, substantive work across a range of practice areas. From day one, summer associates are supported by dedicated Summer Program Committee members serving as guides, work coordinators, and evaluators to provide real-time feedback and direction throughout the summer.
Summer associates gain hands-on experience—attending client meetings, depositions, and closings—while building relationships through regular social interactions. A highlight of our program is our firm-wide Summer Associate Retreat focused on professional development and networking. Summer associates also get to be part of our commitment to our communities by engaging in pro bono and volunteer opportunities.
