Our Summer Associate Program is designed to provide our summer associates with an opportunity to experience Forman Perry Watkins Krutz & Tardy's unique practice and personality. We get to know associates by working directly with them daily to capture their work, their attitude, their enthusiasm and their judgment personally. The Program is also our primary source for hiring entry-level associates.
While many firms limit summer associates to a particular part of the summer, our program lasts from mid-May to early August, giving law students flexibility in planning and allowing them the opportunity to experience as much as possible in a single summer. Our goal is to involve summer associates in many areas of practice and to expose them to the day-to-day aspects of legal practice. Summer associates typically have the opportunity to attend hearings and depositions, draft memoranda, motions and pleadings, as well as attend conference calls, mediations and trials. Each summer associate can count on his or her mentors to provide guidance and insight throughout the summer experience.
The Summer Associate Program includes various social events that allow our summer associates to get to know us and our families outside of the office. Our summer associates are invited to formal and informal dinners and happy hours, family night at a local sporting event, and our annual golf tournament is always a favorite.
While we typically conduct on-campus interviews of first and second year law students at certain regional law schools, we invite and consider resumes from candidates across the country. If you are interested in applying for the summer associate program, please send your resume, transcript, and cover letter to Lauren McFatter or Natalie Levanway.
