Summer Program Overview
Freshfields' 10-week summer associate programs in the United States (New York, DC, and Silicon Valley) and London give second-year U.S. law school students a taste of what it is like to work at a top tier international law firm.
While we offer the resources of a large, international firm, our U.S. summer associate class is around 25-30 students. So, we are able to tailor the experience to ensure that it is substantive, relevant, and rewarding. Our U.S. summer associates work closely with senior associates and partners on substantive work on marquee cases.
