Recruiting
Each recruiting season, we aim to hire a summer class comprised of exceptional second-year law students from schools across the United States and Canada. We also welcome applications from outstanding third‑year law students interested in joining us as incoming associates following graduation.
To complement our law school hiring efforts, we also consider applications from judicial clerks on a year-round basis. Approximately 44% of our litigators have clerked at some point in their careers. We highly value the experience gained during a clerkship, and offer a competitive package for those who have clerked.
