Former Summer Associate Testimonials

Cheryl A. Feeley

Partner

Washington, D.C.

As a summer associate, I appreciated the fact that I had the ability to initially take assignments from many different practice areas and then later begin to focus on areas in which I was developing a stronger interest. I was also able to establish good working relationships with individual attorneys that have endured through the years and have helped to ground me at the firm. Summer associates are expected to handle challenging work – in return, they are provided with a realistic picture of the work life of an associate at Holland & Knight.

Meghal B. Shah

Partner

Boston

During my time as a summer associate, Holland & Knight gave me an actual client caseload and real-life insight into what it takes to be a successful attorney. I worked on challenging assignments, drafted documents that were distributed to clients and participated in conference calls and in-person meetings. The firm encouraged me to test my limits and perform at my highest capabilities. I also chose Holland & Knight because its initiatives to promote diversity and its Rising Star program for female attorneys proved that it values employees like me.
