Former Summer Associate Testimonials

Cheryl A. Feeley

Partner

Washington, D.C.

As a summer associate, I appreciated the fact that I had the ability to initially take assignments from many different practice areas and then later begin to focus on areas in which I was developing a stronger interest. I was also able to establish good working relationships with individual attorneys that have endured through the years and have helped to ground me at the firm. Summer associates are expected to handle challenging work – in return, they are provided with a realistic picture of the work life of an associate at Holland & Knight.

Joshua R. Levenson

Partner

Fort Lauderdale

Holland & Knight has an unparalleled commitment to your long-term success. As a summer associate, I received a tremendous amount of mentoring, training and substantive work that prepared me for the complex matters I now work on as a litigation associate. For me, the one-on-one mentoring is priceless: you never face a challenge alone. Additionally, it's a myth that a litigation associate at a large firm does not receive any courtroom experience. By my third year at Holland & Knight, I had already worked on several trials and attended numerous hearings, depositions and mediations.
