Our summer program is designed to closely replicate the experience of being a lawyer at Proskauer. Summer associates work on complex and challenging legal matters, learn from leaders in the field, and experience Proskauer’s diverse and inclusive culture. We take every opportunity to show summer associates why their work matters—each will work on a particular pro bono matter. Every day at Proskauer represents important training—from working with experienced professionals on client matters to receiving real-time feedback and direction. Summer associates have the chance to enhance their understanding of key areas by participating in partner-led, interactive training workshops, including sessions on corporate negotiations, the lifecycle of a transaction, mediation, and mock trials. At the end of the day, it’s all about the people—so summer associates will have many opportunities to join in social, cultural, or recreational activities to get better acquainted with their fellow summers and lawyers at the firm.
