About Latham & Watkins

Latham & Watkins is one of the world’s leading global law firms advising the businesses and institutions that drive the global economy. We are the market leaders in major financial and business centers globally and offer unmatched expertise and resources to help you grow from an intellectually curious self-starter into an exceptional lawyer. If you aspire to be the best, this is where you belong.

About the Role

Our summer program offers law school students a glimpse into the life of a junior associate at Latham & Watkins.

Through our Unassigned Program, you will explore market-leading practices and award-winning industry groups, collaborate with leading lawyers across disciplines, and participate in pro bono work.

Assigned mentors will guide you throughout the summer as you engage in substantive matters and receive real-time feedback, just like a firm associate.

You will also build meaningful relationships with Latham professionals through practice group presentation, training programs, Summer Academy, and social events.

We offer opportunities for law students at ABA-accredited schools to learn from some of the best in the profession, refine their skills, and develop their talents.
