Each summer, Gunster offers a select group of law students the opportunity to experience and participate in ongoing client matters across multiple practices.

The Summer Associate Program is open to law students who have completed two years of coursework. Typically, 5 to 7 summer associates work with the firm each year. Participation in this program can be the first step to becoming a Gunster attorney.

Summer associates gain valuable, real-world experience in a diverse, business-focused law firm.

Highlights:

Multiple practices

Summer associates work on assignments from a number of Gunster's 14 practices, and are able to narrow their practice interests as the summer progresses.

Evaluation

Participants hone practical writing and analytical skills through a formal feedback and evaluation process.

Mentoring

Each summer associate is assigned a Gunster attorney who acts as the associate's mentor.

Firmwide exposure

Gunster has eight offices across the state, and summer associates have multiple opportunities to work and socialize with attorneys and other professionals throughout the firm.

Real-world practice

Where appropriate, summer associates attend trials, hearings, client meetings, closings, and phone conferences.

And a little fun

Numerous social activities provide summer associates with opportunities for informal (and often invaluable) internal networking. Visit Gunster on Facebook.
