Training & Assignments

• “I had amazing opportunities for both training and substantive assignments. I had client interaction and I felt that I was incredibly well prepared for associate life.”
• “Although the summer class was small, I had opportunities to attend lunches with associates and shareholders. The firm also threw an end of the year party upon the conclusion of our summers.”
• “They were fantastic and there was a great ability to interact with firm attorneys. Our summer class got along great.”
• “The firm was very transparent in what we would expect as associates. The firm was clear from day one that its focus was on labor and employment law.
