Join Locke Lord
Investing your future with Locke Lord will ensure your growth as an attorney and as a person. You will work with some of the brightest legal minds in the country and have a chance to make a difference. Our firm is based on a commitment to individual creativity combined with a spirit of collaboration. Locke Lord provides a supportive and challenging atmosphere – one that separates us from the crowd and differentiates us from other big law firms.
We are diverse and come from all walks of life, but we share the common goal of doing the best we can for our many and varied clients. All lawyers create their own experiences and successes, but here you have a support team with you every step of the way.
Locke Lord's summer program is distinctive. We don’t view students as temporary guests – we see them as part of our team, with the summer program being just the first stage of your Locke Lord career. Our summer program is not just a summer job – it’s the groundwork for your career.
We have approximately 30 practice areas in our firm, but we focus on individuals, their personal interests, viewpoints and career goals. Our partners and associates work closely with summer program participants, and we stress teamwork and mentoring. Early on, you’ll learn the skills and interests you most want to develop.
Each of our offices independently interviews for and participates in our summer program. We recruit first- and second-year students from schools nationwide. We work to structure a program that meets the needs and obligations of our candidates. Law students selected are those who show the ability to succeed as permanent members of our team.
