Our summer program is dedicated to giving our summer associates a rewarding and realistic snapshot of life as an associate at Pryor Cashman. Summer associates are given substantive work responsibilities that offer practical legal training and "real life" work experience in as many practice groups as they are interested in exploring.
There is no formal rotation system; rather, summer associates receive work assignments from individual lawyers from many different departments in order to experience the diversity of our clientele and practice. In addition, every effort is made to tailor work assignments to the specific interests of the summer associates.
Here’s what one of our summer associates who has now joined Pryor Cashman full-time had to say about the work he was assigned during his summer with us:
Bryan joined Pryor Cashman full-time in 2007 and is part of the Litigation Group. As a summer associate, he worked with the Litigation and Corporate Groups and was involved in numerous matters as a full member of the team.
“From day one I was given real, substantive work in a variety of practice areas. Whether discussing litigation strategy or the structure of a corporate transaction, partners and associates alike involved me in every step of the process. I could not have asked for a better experience to prepare me for life as a full time associate at a dynamic New York law firm like Pryor Cashman.”
