Our Survey Says
- “The summer associate program was a chance to experience real work, and the projects I worked on over the summer resembled much of the work I am doing now at the firm. Additionally, the training and feedback I got on those assignments helped me be more prepared once I joined the firm.”
- “I was given real work and mostly legal research assignments. My assignments were varied and covered many different areas of the law, so I was never bored during the internship.”
- “During my firm's summer associate program, I was involved with a number of interesting substantive work assignments. I observed and took notes during depositions, I drafted a memorandum for a pro bono matter, and I attended various litigation trainings.”
- “I received real, substantive work as a summer associate. The workload was very manageable, but I felt like a part of the team the entire time I was there. The associates and partners seemed very invested in my success.”
- There were various social events throughout my summer, all of which were optional. I had the opportunity to go see Hamilton on Broadway and a Yankees game. Toward the end of my summer, I went to a Lady Gaga concert and a Kendrick Lamar concert.”
- “There were numerous social events, and there was no pressure to attend. It was certainly one of the highlights of my summer associate program.”
- “The social element of S&C's summer associate program is the best kept secret of BigLaw. The legal recruiting and talent team goes above and beyond to plan once-in-a-lifetime events every night catered to your unique interests. Because of this, our summer associate class became fast friends, and we all still regularly socialize together as associates.”
- “Social events were well-planned and included a good variety of options. Usually only associates in attendance, with a few partner-led events.”
- “Significantly more substantive work right off the bat than I expected.”
- “There is more doc review than I experienced as a summer, but otherwise, it was a fairly accurate picture of life at the firm.”
- “I think my summer experience was great training for work as an associate at S&C. I really value the relationships I made during my summer, and that really helped me pick the matters on which and the people with whom I most wanted to work.”
- “I've actually enjoyed practicing at my firm more than I expected after the summer program. The summer was fine, but practically speaking, it's hard to integrate summers into a case for just two months. As an associate, I have gotten very substantive, interesting work.”
