Butler Snow's Ridgeland office is accepting applications for second-year law students (2Ls) for the 2027 Summer Associate Program.
Butler Snow's Summer Associate Program is a six week program occurring in the first-half of summer (mid-May through the end of June).
Butler Snow's primary means in which it hires new law graduates is through the summer program. During the program, law students will have the opportunity to work on a variety of assignments in each of our firm's practice areas and work with different attorneys across all offices. Our Summer Associates not only get a variety of assignments, but also hands-on experiences, such as attending depositions, hearings, client negotiations, and working on pro bono matters. Butler Snow is a full-service law firm with a network of attorneys, advisors and staff collaborating across a network of more than 25 offices in the United States and Europe.
The firm’s award-winning culture of teamwork and clients first means we call on resources from across the firm to match experience with the needs of our clients. As a result, clients benefit from our strategic counsel, efficient execution and innovative solutions to complex challenges.
