New York 2027 Summer Associate
Sheppard’s 10-week Summer Associate Program provides students with a realistic view into what life is like as an associate at the firm. The program begins with a reception and two-day Summer Associate Academy in Los Angeles. The Academy provides summer associates with an introduction to the firm, workshops to help them settle in as law firm professionals, and opportunities to network with one another. Throughout the summer, our summer associates will receive hands-on experience while working closely with partners and associates on meaningful client matters. They also have the opportunity to attend depositions and court appearances, participate in conference calls and negotiations, draft documents and sit in on meetings, as well as work on pro bono projects. Summer associates receive ample feedback through formal mid-summer and end-of-summer reviews, as well as informally from their supervising attorneys as they complete each assignment. Each summer associate has at least one attorney mentor who provides guidance and advice throughout the summer, and we plan a well-balanced calendar of social events that allow students to get to know our attorneys as well as their fellow summer classmates.
Hiring Criteria: A minimum GPA of 3.3 is required; a minimum of 3.4 is preferred. We look for students who have participated in moot court/mock trials and/or have law journal experience, as well as past experience that shows leadership skills, proof of initiative and the ability to handle responsibility. We understand you may not have your law school transcript at this point. You will receive a link to update your application with your law school transcript once you apply. Our New York office is only seeking students with an interest in business litigation, corporate & securities, healthcare, labor & employment, finance & bankruptcy, intellectual property, and real estate. We do not offer practice group rotations. Each associate is assigned to a single practice group for the duration of the program to ensure focused training and meaningful experience. Please indicate your practice area of interest in your cover letter. The salary range for this position is $225,000 - $225,000 per year. Sheppard has partnered with Suited, a company that has created an A.I.-powered tool designed to help our recruiting process be more fair and inclusive. We ask that you please complete the Suited assessment to provide us with a more holistic view of your candidacy. It should take no longer than 30 minutes and please note that the first portion of the assessment is timed.
