New York, Washington D.C.
Our rotational program allows summer associates to work on real legal issues across various practice areas. Summer associates typically rotate through two practice groups in which they’ve expressed an interest. Some decide to rotate through one of our corporate groups and then spend the second rotation in Litigation. Others have decided to experience a smaller group vs. a larger group. The best part is you decide.
Each year, several summer associates are given an opportunity to spend time in more than one firm office. In recent years, summer associates have spent time in our Hong Kong, London, Paris, São Paulo, Shanghai, and Tokyo offices. In addition, summer associates have split their time among our North American offices in New York, the Bay Area, Toronto, and Washington, DC. If you’re interested in splitting your summer, we encourage you to mention this at the outset of the interview process. Office placement decisions are based on the business needs of each office and individual levels of summer associate interest, so a separate interview is not necessary.
Bay Area, Texas, and Toronto
Our Texas and Bay Area offices do not have an official rotation system. Summer Associates are assigned to a specific practice group for the summer, however, if they have an interest in trying another group’s work they are able to do that as well. We check in throughout the summer program to ensure summer associates are interested in their practice group in which they are assigned.
