Summer Program Overview


We think critically about each hire we make – a summer associate is not “just a number” and will not feel lost in the crowd. For the past several years, we have extended offers to 100% of our summer associates.

Summer associates are staffed on high-value, high-profile matters from day one, learning from the process of doing, while working with industry-leading lawyers. They prepare for and observe depositions, investigations, and witness prep, join lawyers in court, attend closings and client meetings, and more.
