SUMMER ASSOCIATE STATEMENTS
MONIKA MERCHAN
"As a summer associate, I was given the opportunity to work on significant projects for clients right away. My work was guided by the lead attorney on the matter, allowing me to ask them questions and seek guidance, if needed along the way. One of the most memorable projects during the summer involved a complex real estate transaction, where I drafted portions of the agreement and a summary of the key terms of the transaction. Another memorable project involved a high net worth family that sought guidance in structuring and transferring their assets upon a taxable event. Beyond professional development, the summer program included numerous fun events throughout the summer which gave me a chance to get to know the attorneys personally."
TOM ABBOTT
"In the summer program at Lobb & Cliff, LLP I gained practical experience in each of the firm's main practice groups. Throughout the summer program, I worked on issues pertinent to ongoing client matters. This experience caused me to apply the legal principles I learned in law school in a practical fashion. The summer program at Lobb & Cliff, LLP will ease your transition from thinking about legal issues in the abstract to applying what you have learned at law school to solve real world client problems."
ERIK VELIE:
"The summer program at L&C is a challenging legal environment designed to prepare you for a successful career as a practicing attorney. In the first month of my summer, they gave me a chance to prepare a draft motion for summary judgment in a joint client conflict of interest dispute. Experience like this cannot be found at any other summer program."
JAMIE MEYER:
"The summer program at L&C forced me out of my comfort zone and demanded that I utilize all of the tools I had garnered from law school. L&C provided me with numerous opportunities to perform substantive legal work unavailable to summer associates at most firms. The no-nonsense guidance and support of L&C’s attorneys and staff piloted me toward a rewarding and successful summer experience."
L&C is rated AV by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, the highest rating given by the most prestigious attorney rating directory in the United States.
