We offer an innovative summer experience for law students that combines challenging client work, targeted professional development, and meaningful connection opportunities. Our summer program begins with our “Summer Kickoff,” an interactive multi-day orientation with firm leaders and summer associates from across the United States. The location changes every year, but wherever we gather, the goal remains the same—to introduce students to our firm, our robust summer program, and our collaborative culture. Following the Kickoff, we continue our professional development training through the Summer Academy, which includes important topics such as exceptional client service, legal writing, and presentation skills. We also provide interesting and challenging work assignments throughout the program and build in many engaging social activities so our summer associates have the opportunity to interact with our lawyers and each other.
