“The biggest thing for me was finding an office where I felt comfortable with people I knew I would be able to work well with. I worked my way through law school, so I know that finding an office where you fit in is such a big thing. It can really have an impact on your overall quality of life. When I started at Baker, I felt like I was part of a team. I felt like I was contributing something useful and was part of something important, and then I just got to work with so many amazing people.”

Our program is designed to provide a realistic view of life as an associate at the firm, working alongside teams of partners and associates on a variety of billable and pro bono assignments across many practice areas. The summer is also filled with fun and meaningful events which are meant to give you an insight to what life here as an associate would be like.

Each summer associate will have the opportunity to rotate through various practice areas of their interest. They can expect to receive real assignments that will prepare them for what their career will be like as a Baker attorney. Our summer associates are also paired with mentors who will help guide them during their time here and provide insight on the firm, culture and clients.

The New York office plans to hire 2 summer associates. To apply, please submit your cover letter, resume and law school transcript through our online application: BH Student Online Application
