Our Survey Says
- “I received substantive projects as a summer associate that allowed me to work with attorneys in the same capacity as a first-year associate. My expectations as a summer associate were very consistent with practicing here.”
- “The firm got me involved with substantive work during my first few days as a summer associate. Senior associates and partners took time to discuss work with me on a meaningful level and offer valuable feedback. I always felt welcome and like a part of the team.”
- “The Robinson Bradshaw summer associate program accurately depicts what life is like as an associate at the firm. The firm makes sure that you're busy doing high-caliber work for top-flight institutional clients, and it ensures that you have every resource you need to succeed. It also makes a conscientious effort to expose its summer associates to each of the firm's practice areas and as many of its lawyers as possible. The summer program is a perfect introduction to life in Charlotte and at the firm, and I would recommend it to any law student.”

The Firm Says
Robinson Bradshaw promotes an inclusive work environment where people with different backgrounds share a commitment to our core ideals of professionalism, excellence and teamwork. Our summer program provides law students the opportunity to gain practical experience at a leading regional law firm with nationally recognized practices. From hands-on legal work and department lunches to training sessions and after-work activities, your summer experience will mirror that of a new associate. You will interact directly with clients and other attorneys and have the opportunity to observe trials, negotiations, closings, and depositions. Robinson Bradshaw does not assign summer associates to specific practice groups or departments which allows you to work with attorneys throughout the firm, while gaining a better understanding of Robinson Bradshaw’s 40-plus practice areas.
