Our summer program is based on the split-summer model. While we prefer a six-week summer commitment, we will gladly accommodate students who wish to have longer clerkships, as well as those who prefer to clerk with us during the school year. We are happy to coordinate a mutually agreeable schedule with you and encourage you to let us know if you have particular scheduling issues.
Interested individuals may send a resume and cover letter to Attn: Recruiting at one or more of the addresses on our contact page.

During your summer with us, you will have the opportunity to explore all areas of our practice, which spans the spectrum of intellectual property law. Clerkships with our firm are structured to simulate the first-year associate experience. Consequently, you can expect that the types of projects that you are assigned will match the work that would be expected of a first-year associate starting with the firm.

Attorneys are encouraged to give feedback to summer associates after assignments have been completed. At the end of the summer, attorneys are given the opportunity to evaluate each summer associate and make a recommendation regarding an associate offer. Offers are extended at the end of the summer program.

Work is only part of the clerkship equation. The other part is meeting the people at the firm. Aside from day-to-day interactions with your colleagues, a variety of social activities will be scheduled throughout the summer to provide you with a chance to meet members of the firm outside the office. Summer Associates also receive a salary competitive within our market in addition to paid parking.
