How are summer associates evaluated?
Summer associates are provided feedback on assignments they undertake throughout the summer. At the end of the summer associate program, all attorneys within the firm are asked to provide written feedback on any summer associate with whom they worked, and these evaluations are reviewed by the firm's Recruiting Committee, who make the final hiring decisions.
How often do you hire from the summer program?
The summer associate program is Preti Flaherty's primary hiring tool for new associates. The summer program gives both the participants and us the best opportunity to learn about each other. Therefore, it is Preti Flaherty's goal to offer positions to as many of its summer associates as possible.
