A summer of shared values
You’ll be starting your career. You’ll be in an entrepreneurial environment. You’ll be working with and learning from exceptional attorneys—people doing groundbreaking legal work in dozens of different practices in our key industry sectors.
There are many reasons why Manatt’s Summer Associate Program was given a near perfect score by The American Lawyer Survey. The work is challenging and rewarding. The culture is congenial, collaborative, and inclusive. The values are progressive, with a famously deep commitment to diversity and community service.
Manatt’s values will be shared with you from the beginning and reflected in your work. You’ll be doing real work on real matters. Some of this will be pro bono—significant work addressing important social issues.
Watch. Learn. Perform.
As a Manatt summer associate, everything will be geared toward your development as a future lawyer. You’ll have the opportunity to explore different areas of the law as you explore your own areas of interest.
Your training will be both formal and informal, broad-based and focused. You’ll attend workshops, presentations, and practice overviews. You’ll be assigned a team of mentors that will guide you, find opportunities for you, and generally look out for your progress. Their feedback will be constant—and invaluable.
You’ll shadow partners and associates at hearings, trials, client meetings, depositions, and negotiations. You’ll listen in on internal meetings of practice groups, industry groups, and diversity groups. You’ll watch seasoned professionals in action, getting a feel for how they think, how they interact with one another, and how they deal with the unexpected.
By the end of the summer, you will have an excellent idea of what it means to be a Manatt attorney.
