Summer associates represent their CLO clients in agency proceedings, including motions and evidentiary hearings, with senior associates providing advice and assistance as needed. A. A Trial Advocacy Workshop has been included in our summer program so that summer associates may have the opportunity to test and develop their litigation techniques. This one day workshop is taught by a Harvard Law School professor with participation by all litigation partners and senior associates, who offer advice and demonstrations to the summer associates. A one-day corporate negotiations workshop is also a part of our summer program. The workshop is designed to teach negotiation skills that are helpful in, but not limited to, the practice of corporate law.
Every summer associate shares an office with another summer or first-year associate.
