Many of our associates begin their Reed Smith careers in one of our summer associate programs. A typical Reed Smith summer associate is a bright, well-rounded individual with an entrepreneurial spirit and strong critical thinking and writing skills. Ultimately, we are seeking talented students who have the potential to develop into exceptional attorneys.
It is our goal to provide our summer associates with a glimpse of what it is truly like to work at Reed Smith. Our assignment, training and evaluation process is designed to acquaint our summer associates with the issues and needs of our clients while providing constructive feedback. We support this process through structured training and mentoring programs. Additionally, Reed Smith hosts a variety of events and social activities to provide our summer associates with many opportunities to get to know their new colleagues.
Summer associate positions are typically filled through our on-campus interviewing program. Please refer to our OCI schedule to find when we will be interviewing at your school.
