Law Students

Thompson & Knight's Summer Associate program is our principal source of hiring new associates. The Firm's Summer Associate program ranked #3 in the Houston market and #6 in the Dallas market in The American Lawyer's 2011 Summer Associate survey.

We hire Summer Associates with the expectation that they ultimately become Partner in the Firm. This commitment to the long-term development of our professionals is consistent with our values and culture. We have a focused and collegial environment in which each individual can flourish, through participating both as a team member and, in certain situations, as the individual legal representative of a client's needs.

We offer summer associate programs for law students in our Dallas and Houston offices. During the summer, a mix of work assignments and social engagements afford an excellent opportunity for students to further their legal education by participating in a law firm environment and becoming fully acquainted with Thompson & Knight. During their six to eight weeks with the Firm, Summer Associates are given the opportunity to work in two areas of practice and are encouraged to divide the summer with other firms. Each Summer Associate is given Partner and Associate advisors who assist with their work assignments, provide feedback on work product, and ensure that they have a rewarding experience with us.
