There are many ways to apply to be a 2026 Summer Associate at Wilson Sonsini. You can interview with us at your school’s OCI or a job fair if we’re in attendance, or participate in your school’s resume collection. The most direct way is to apply through our ACE application (early action) and our general application, both of which open each year in the Spring.
ACE applications are now open for Summer 2026 – click here to apply! For more information about ACE @ Wilson, click here. General applications will begin on May 18.
We are excited to announce the first step in our Summer Associate application process, the Accelerated Consideration for Employment, or “ACE” Program. Think of this as something akin to Early Action applications for university—an opportunity for applicants to show serious interest in Wilson Sonsini and get a decision from us on a much earlier timeline.
We want you to go into your interviews feeling fully prepared. Working with our friends at the Berkeley Center on Law and Technology, we have created two video series on practice areas and recruiting tips to help you get ready for the interview season.
