Applications for our 2028 2L Summer Associate Program will open on Monday, January 4, 2027. Please check back at that time for available opportunities.
We take an intentional approach to recruiting so we can get to know each of you, including your skills, talents and interests. This allows us to provide individualized opportunities that help you explore the practice of law. Through challenging client work and access to our comprehensive training program, we hope you will gain meaningful insight into both the practice and the firm.
Our summer program provides a real-world law firm experience, with opportunities to:
- learn how to practice law by working with experienced lawyers on complex matters for sophisticated clients
- attend client meetings, depositions, hearings, trials, closings and other external events
- build relationships with our attorneys through work assignments, our mentoring program, practice group meetings and events throughout the summer
- work with your peers in the office and throughout the firm
- meet our top leaders and learn about the history and future of the firm
- improve your substantive and practical legal skills through customized training programs
- connect with associate and partner mentors who help you navigate your summer associate experience and begin your career with us
Interviews provide an invaluable opportunity for us to get to know you, so that we can better assess whether your skills, interests and values will fit with ours. Interviews also enable us to highlight our work, culture and values, so that you can decide for yourself if Holland & Knight is a good fit for you.
