Former Summer Associate Testimonials

During my time as a summer associate, Holland & Knight gave me an actual client caseload and real-life insight into what it takes to be a successful attorney. I worked on challenging assignments, drafted documents that were distributed to clients and participated in conference calls and in-person meetings. The firm encouraged me to test my limits and perform at my highest capabilities. I also chose Holland & Knight because its initiatives to promote diversity and its Rising Star program for female attorneys proved that it values employees like me.
I was older than your average summer associate, and Holland & Knight viewed that maturity as an asset. The attorneys respected my 20 years of experience as an Army officer and executive recruiter. When I joined, the firm provided me the incredible opportunity to chair its Veterans Group. That opportunity, coupled with a practice group leadership team that effectively tapped into my experience and strengths, are key reasons that led to my quick development as an attorney and positive recognition across the firm. That development allowed me to take the lead on deals typically led by more senior associates.
