Demystifying The Large Firm Practice
Apr
5

Demystifying The Large Firm Practice

Holland & Knight cordially invites you to join us at an informational seminar for first-year students to learn more about working at a large law firm. Among the topics to be discussed are:

  • What qualities are firms looking for in prospective summer associates?

  • What can I do to best prepare myself for the upcoming on-campus interview season?

  • What differentiates one law firm from another?

On April 5, a panel of Holland & Knight partners and associates will provide insight into these questions and more. Panelists will discuss their experiences at a large firm, including how they chose their particular areas of practice. They also will address the nuances of the large firm interview process.

The event will provide an unparalleled opportunity to learn about associate responsibilities and expectations at most law firms. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in a relaxed atmosphere.

Following the discussion, students are invited to join the panelists and other Holland & Knight attorneys for a cocktail reception.

RSVP:

Space is limited. Please register online by March 30.
