At BakerHostetler, our well-rounded summer program provides students with the training, experience and confidence necessary to begin the journey to become great lawyers who will enjoy their colleagues and their work.
“My experience as a summer was great; I was challenged in my work, I made new friends, I contributed to a team … and I learned more than I could hope to learn in one summer about the practice of law.”
— Former Seattle summer associate
The Seattle summer associate program is designed to give second year law students a realistic view of what it is like to practice law at BakerHostetler. Every effort is made to expose summer associates to all aspects of the firm by receiving substantive work, professional training and social networking opportunities. Summer associates can expect that they will be doing real work for real clients.
As our summer associates embark on the next step in their professional legal journey, the firm provides many opportunities to gain practical knowledge, in addition to meeting our lawyers and staff to gain a better understanding of the firm’s culture. By the end of the summer, our summer associates will have an excellent idea of what practicing law at BakerHostetler is all about. Our summer program typically lasts 10 weeks.
The Seattle 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.
