Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox PLLC

• “High quality of work and closely working with more senior attorneys. There were a ton of social events over the summer, my favorite being axe throwing.”
• “The quality of work received was good. I received several substantive assignments and received detailed feedback on each one. There was also consistent training and plenty of fun social events to attend.”
• “The quality and quantity of training and mentoring was generally very high. The first half of the summer was relatively light on work, but work opportunities picked up toward the second half of the summer and provided a decent preview of the kind of work typically performed at the firm. There were plenty of social opportunities throughout the summer (involving both current associates and directors). My personal favorite event was a collective cooking lesson/competition.”
• “Diverse amount of work given and plentiful opportunities to connect with both timekeepers and non-timekeepers.”
