Summer Associate Life
The goal of our summer program is to immerse the summer associate in both the work and culture of the firm. The work assigned to summer associates is similar to that given to new associates. Summer associates assume significant responsibility almost immediately and become contributing, vital members of the firm during the course of the summer. Summer associates are also invited to observe and participate in client meetings, hearings, depositions, trials and closings – real-world experiences that are invaluable to any young associate’s development.
While the work is important, our culture promotes a balanced life. Thus, we plan a number of social outings throughout the 12-week program, including boat outings, sporting events, theater, amusement parks, and gatherings at attorneys’ homes. These activities showcase the outstanding lifestyle available in Tampa, provide an opportunity to get to know our attorneys on a social basis, and demonstrate first-hand the close friendships our attorneys have with each other.
