Our summer associate program is vital to the firm's attorney recruitment program.
With it, we strive to create a vital win/win relationship:
- Associates gain valuable exposure to the practice of law through a variety of assignments across several practice areas, often including research and attendance at trials, depositions and negotiation sessions.
- The firm has ample opportunity to assess the abilities, work ethics and personalities of associates, often resulting in offers of permanent positions.
Through formal training and informal networking opportunities, we provide ongoing performance feedback, instruction in matters such as legal writing, and guidance on developing as a true practitioner of the law.
Highly qualified first- and second-year law students can apply for a Summer Associate position in our Seattle or Portland offices.
We also provide the George V. Powell Scholarship, which includes a Summer Associate position. All application materials for the George V. Powell Scholarship must be received by September 1 for consideration. Please review the requirements for the George V. Powell Scholarship before applying.
