About Mintz
Mintz is an Am Law 100 law firm with over 600 attorneys serving clients worldwide. Our attorneys combine legal, business, and industry insight to help navigate shifting challenges. We advise business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors on pivotal transactions, disputes, and regulatory matters within our core practice areas — Corporate & Transactional, Intellectual Property, Litigation & Investigations, and Regulatory & Advisory. We are strategically located to meet the needs of our clients, with offices in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, Toronto, and Washington, DC.About the Summer Associate Program
Mintz is currently accepting applications for our 2027 2L Summer Associate program and 2L Diversity Scholarship in our Boston, New York, and Los Angeles offices. Our Summer Associates select a practice area of interest (Corporate, Litigation, or Intellectual Property Litigation) and are immersed in that practice area for the duration of the program. Summer Associates work on an array of matters, often staffed on cases or deal teams, where they can gain real, hands-on experience working side-by-side with our lawyers. Our small class size, coupled with our Member and Associate mentorship program, allows students a broad range of opportunities and experience, customized to their individual goals and interests. After spending nine weeks at the firm, our Summer Associates know our lawyers, understand what we do, and are ready to hit the ground running after law school.
