Willkie is a leading international firm with eight offices in six countries, more than 600 lawyers from dozens of different law schools and men and women of diverse heritages and backgrounds.  We believe that our more than century-old record of success is due in large part to our ability to attract and retain highly motivated lawyers with exceptional academic achievements.

Our summer associate program is our primary recruiting tool.  We look not only for intelligence in applicants, but also for a wide variety of qualities that we think will eventually make them great lawyers -- including self-confidence, ambition and creativity.  What we offer to our candidates is the chance to be part of a collegial atmosphere where even the most junior associates feel that they are an integral part of the firm, with the opportunity to help Willkie continue to achieve excellence in the years ahead.
