What Our Summer Associates Say

Summer 2026

“Everybody at Seward went above and beyond to make the summer experience fulfilling, rewarding, and challenging. Throughout the summer we were included in firm culture and given meaningful assignments that exposed us to a variety of practice areas.”

“Seward & Kissel’s summer program exceeded all of my expectations for a well-rounded, informative, and fun experience. The rotational format allows ample opportunity to engage with many attorneys and types of legal assignments, all of which provided meaningful exposure to what associate life at the firm is like. I am particularly grateful for the small summer cohort size and supervisory support structures. I am thrilled with my decision to join Seward and encourage all law students to do the same”
