Our high-tech, innovative clients offer unique opportunities to experience broad areas of intellectual property law. As a summer associate, you’ll receive the opportunity to spend ten weeks learning about the practice of law – but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. MBHB’s summer program encourages hands-on participation in client work, managed by partner-mentors throughout the program. A summer associate might work on a patent application, assist in drafting a freedom-to-operate opinion, attend a client presentation, complete legal research for a pleading, or write a blog post or snippets article over the course of their summer.
Not only will you earn invaluable experience during your summer, but you’ll also have the opportunity to get to know your colleagues at social events. In the past, some of our summer events have included excursions on the Tall Ship Windy, a “working” dinner building bicycles for underprivileged children, and the always-popular Whirlyball® competition.
