M&A Scholars Program

The Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Scholars Program gives enterprising US law students a chance to be a part of one of the world’s leading M&A practices. Last year, our M&A lawyers handled more than US$566 billion in announced mergers and acquisitions transactions worldwide, representing principal entities or financial advisors in 500+ public and private transactions.

As an M&A Scholar, you will work closely with our lawyers as they advise on sophisticated domestic and cross-border transactions across a range of industries, gaining an understanding of substantive legal issues and market trends that impact global deal-making.

M&A Scholars Program applications will be accepted in our Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles/Century City, New York, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Washington, D.C. offices. Sign up to be notified when 2024 applications open.
