Houston Summer Associate Program

“The most valuable asset of BakerHostetler’s summer program is that its summers are able to do meaningful work across a range of practices. I was not only able to work on employment or torts matters, but also got to explore international arbitration work. It’s this range that allows summers to see their interests and see where they fit.”

“Working this past summer with BakerHostetler solidified my career trajectory. Their summer program allowed me to immerse myself in diverse areas of law, collaborate with different partners, and try to find which area best suited me. As a first-generation law student, this was invaluable as it gave me exposure to many areas I otherwise would not have known existed. It allowed me to begin to narrow down the list of areas that most interested me. Moreover, the summer program served as an exceptional platform for refining my skills as a legal writer, navigating collaborative ventures with partners and associates and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the legal profession.”

“The people at BakerHostetler are what made all the difference in my summer experience. BakerHostetler is filled from the top down with people who genuinely care. This sincere interest in the personal and professional well-being of each individual fostered authentic connections. Further, it provides mentors everywhere you look; younger associates willing to take you under their wings and older partners willing to do the same. This is a rare environment in Big Law and, in my opinion, is what makes BakerHostetler stand out.”

“My favorite thing about the summer program was getting to work on projects from multiple practice groups. I was able to learn about different areas of law and work with numerous partners and associates. The wide array of projects offered to summer associates truly stretched our comfort zones and challenged us to improve our research efficiency, writing efficacy and overall communication skills. The culture was one of collaboration that facilitated opportunities for growth around every corner. My summer experience allowed me to further develop as a lawyer, and I am so excited to return this year!”

"So, you may wonder, why BakerHostetler? Well, the answer’s simple. It’s a place that’s full of community, support, fun, challenging yet fulfilling work, and more than you could ever ask for."
