What are the responsibilities and job description for the 2027 2L Summer Associate position at Verrill?
The Verrill Summer Associate Program is a comprehensive, 10-week program for law students designed to give a realistic picture of life at Verrill providing summer associates. Our program provides summer associates with the opportunity to get to know each other and all firm members by hosting a variety of events that are consistent with our culture and wellbeing.
Verrill’s summer program offers real-life experience to understand the day-to-day life of a typical associate at the firm. Summer associates will rotate through a variety of practice groups over the course of the summer and enjoy individualized opportunities. The program is based in our Boston, MA, Portland, ME, and Westport, CT offices; however, summer associates receive challenging assignments from members of all offices. Substantive assignments will involve significant research and writing, as well as opportunities to observe hearings, trials, closings, and client meetings. By shadowing our attorneys with clients and other counsel, summer associates are exposed to the collaborative team effort and challenging work that distinguishes Verrill.
Each summer associate is assigned a peer contact and mentor to provide guidance in their transition from law school to private practice. Throughout the program, summer associates receive feedback on each project they have been assigned. At mid-summer and summer's end, each summer associate meets with the Chair of the Hiring Committee to receive feedback on their progress and provide us with feedback on the practices in which they are most interested.
Please note that the salary range provided reflects multiple geographic locations. As part of the recruitment process, a more precise compensation range will be shared once factors such as location and candidate experience are taken into account.
