Wilson Sonsini's Accelerated Consideration for Employment (ACE) program is an opportunity for applicants with a serious interest in our firm to receive a hiring decision on an earlier timeline. Through ACE, candidates who have done their research can start the 2L application process earlier and move through the process faster.

We are reviewing 2L ACE applications and scheduling interviews on a rolling basis. Our general 2L Summer Associate application opens in early 2026.

In addition to applying for Summer 2027, the application enables you to be considered for our highly competitive two-summer fellowship for 1L law students, beginning in Summer 2026. This fellowship offers a unique opportunity to build lasting relationships by working closely with attorneys across practice groups through sustained engagement over two summers. While the core work experience remains consistent, Fellows return for a second summer (2027) already familiar with our teams and culture. This allows for deeper integration, stronger mentoring relationships, and enhanced readiness for post-graduate practice.
