We are excited to announce the new 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.
As a Wilson Sonsini summer associate, you will explore and experience our firm, our community, and the technology and life sciences clients we serve.
Our dedicated, in-house attorney recruitment team is here to support you before, during, and after the hiring process. From lateral partners to law students, we know the firm, we know you have questions, and we’re here to help.
Associates represent the future of our firm, and their insights, perspectives, and talents are a key ingredient for the firm’s success. Therefore, it’s critical that they have a voice in firm decisions and policies.
Law firms receive hundreds, and even thousands, of applications a year. That involves a lot of interviews.
How do you stand out? What can you do to get noticed?
