My summer as a 2L summer associate with Barnes & Thornburg presented me with an opportunity to better understand what areas of law I was interested in. I was able to work closely with partners and associates on a wide array of assignments – from corporate and litigation to healthcare and environmental law with attorneys from all over the country. This helped me to build fantastic working relationships with many individuals throughout the firm. Having the ability to work on real, substantive matters for clients and receiving prompt feedback from supervising attorneys was extremely valuable in helping me to develop and sharpen those practical skills that cannot be taught in law school. My experience provided me with the confidence and training necessary to become a full-time associate.
