Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson, P.A.

• “My experience as a summer associate was pretty similar to my experience practicing at the firm. The summer program offered more opportunities to meet people at the firm and social opportunities in general. However, the work itself was very similar to the work we are given as first year associates. My experience practicing at the firm has met my expectations as a summer associate.”
• “I believe Robinson Bradshaw does a good job of showing summer associates what life as an associate is like while also balancing the recruitment of those summer associates. The work I got as a summer was substantive and similar to what I do as a young associate, though projects that can be done in a 6-10 week timespan are somewhat limited. The social aspect of the program was fantastic and afforded me opportunities to meet almost all of the people at the firm, which made building relationships when I started full time very easy.”
• “As a summer, I received real work in small teams, working directly with partners on high-value cases. I had varied experiences based on my interests and really enjoyed the projects. We had associate and partner mentors to guide us through the summer, both of whom were actively involved in my summer experience and making sure I learned everything possible. The firm did a really great job of showing how life as an attorney really looks here. We went to the homes of partners, did a real estate tour, talked about parental leave, what it's like developing a long career here, etc. It was very easy to picture myself 30 years down the line still working here.”
• “As a summer associate, I received substantive projects and meaningful feedback. Each summer associate works closely with partners and is able to meet a wide cross-section of attorneys at the firm. Associates and partners host small group dinners in their homes for summer associates and their significant others. The firm also does a good job of giving the summer associates the chance to get to know each other. We hold a summer associate retreat in the spring so that everyone can make introductions before the summer starts.”

• “Kayaking at the whitewater center, the firm's summer party, small group dinners.”
• “The Charlotte White Water Center is a perfect summer event.”
• “Painting at a brewery, visiting the Van Gogh exhibit, ziplining and kayaking, visiting Carowinds.”
• “My favorite events were a hiking trip in the mountains and a kayaking trip.”
