Meet Fennemoreās 2026 Summer Associates!
Weāre excited to welcome our 2026 Summer Associate class to the firm from May through July. This summer, a select group of law students will join us across five of our officesāPhoenix, Fresno, Spokane, Denver, and Oaklandābringing their talent, energy, and fresh perspectives to our teams.
Throughout the program, our summer associates will gain real-world legal experience, working alongside our attorneys on client matters, participating in mentorship and professional development opportunities, and contributing to meaningful projects in their areas of interest.
Kicking off this yearās program, our associate class attended Fennemoreās firmwide attorney retreatāa unique opportunity to connect with attorneys across offices, experience our collaborative culture firsthand, and see what sets Fennemore apart.
Please join us in welcoming this impressive group of future legal professionals.
Professionally Rewarding and Impactful
“From day one, Iāve felt the firm was invested in my professional development and valued my opinions. Whether through substantive assignments (I had the chance to draft a portion of a motion on a large case), mentorship, or opportunities to explore different practice areas and emerging legal technologies, the focus has been on helping me become an attorney prepared for the future.”
“Having spent both my 1L and 2L summers as a Summer Associate with Fennemore, I can confidently say that Fennemoreās summer associate program helps law students grow, explore, and thrive. The program gives summer associates the opportunity to experience many different areas of law through meaningful projects and practical learning opportunities. My favorite part of working with the Fennemore team has been the way each of my assigning attorneys has taken the time to provide detailed feedback and guidance on how I can continue improving moving forward. The people at Fennemore are truly invested in helping you develop into the best version of yourself!”
“My favorite aspect of working with Fennemore this summer has been the balance between meaningful work and practical training opportunities. Each project I have received has given me the chance to contribute to real matters, receive thoughtful feedback, and continue developing my research and writing skills. The practical training opportunities have also provided valuable insight into the day-to-day work of an attorney. It has meant so much to be trusted with meaningful work while learning from such a wonderful team.”
“The feeling of camaraderie stands out the most.Ā During the summer I felt supported by the summer associate committee (specifically Kendra and Laura), my reader, and the assigning attorneys.Ā From providing practical feedback on my work, having an open-door policy for questions on assignments, and receiving encouragement and support when a project felt overwhelming, the summer program left me feeling like everyone involved was invested in my success.”
