Meet Our 2023 Summer Associate Class
Latham & Watkins is pleased to welcome 313 law students as summer associates in the firm’s London and US offices.
During the 10-week, in-person program, running May 22 - July 28, the summer associates will experience life as a junior associate at the firm, as they engage in meaningful work across our litigation, corporate, finance, tax, and pro bono departments. Our summer associates will have opportunities to connect with each other, as well as assigned mentors and senior Latham leaders, during networking and training events. A highlight of the program, Summer Academy, will immerse the summer associates in Latham’s collaborative and collegial culture through training seminars and social events with Latham lawyers.
“This year’s class of summer associates, with an impressive array of backgrounds and accomplishments, reflects the vibrant and multifaceted nature of our global community. With more than half of the class identifying as a racial or ethnic minority, this year’s cohort demonstrates our continued commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as a distinguishing feature of our culture,” said Michèle Penzer, Global Chair of Latham’s Recruiting Committee.
