1503 - 2025 Summer Associate - 1L LCLD Scholar

WilmerHale is a leading, full-service international law firm with over 1,000 lawyers located throughout 13 offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Our lawyers work at the intersection of government, technology, and business. Since the earliest days of our two legacy firms, WilmerHale has played a leading role in historic events and landmark cases that have shaped the nation and left their mark across the globe. In matters ranging from the Army-McCarthy hearings to the legal defense of civil rights, from the 9/11 Commission to the restoration of the rule of law in apartheid-torn South Africa, our lawyers have been privileged to make contributions that have profoundly affected our society and our profession.

We are committed to recruiting, retaining, developing and promoting the best legal talent. Accordingly, the total compensation package-base salary, bonus and benefits-for all lawyers at the firm is highly competitive with that of other major law firms.

The LCLD Scholar Program will provide you with an opportunity to work side-by-side with attorneys from LCLD Member organizations. You will gain valuable professional experiences and be introduced to the value of relationships and building networks with LCLD Members. As an LCLD Scholar, you will spend 8 weeks with WilmerHale in either our New York or Washington, DC office, and 2 weeks with one of our clients.

The WilmerHale Summer Program will expose you to the breadth of the firm's practice and the range of talents among its lawyers. Our summer program promises challenging assignments, practical training, and opportunities to work and socialize with many of our lawyers, providing you with a realistic view of the firm. We try to give you the insight you need to make an informed decision to join us after graduation or a clerkship.

WilmerHale is currently accepting applications for qualified first year law school students to join the 2025 Summer Associate Program.

Eligibility: The LCLD program is open to all full-time, first-year law students who expect to graduate from an ABA-accredited law school in 2027. We seek to hire students whose academic and personal record of achievement demonstrates a commitment to excellence and typically the students we hire are at or near the top of their class. Students must also demonstrate commitment to the legal profession and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal community.

Interested students should submit a cover letter, resume and law school transcript here. Students should also submit a personal statement (please upload in place of a writing sample) using specific examples to explain how your personal, academic, and/or professional background and experiences will bring a diverse perspective to client representations. The application process will close on January 31, 2025.
