Meet Fennemore’s 2026 Summer Associates!

We’re 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 offices—Phoenix, Fresno, Spokane, Denver, and Oakland—bringing their talent, energy, and fresh perspectives to our teams.Ā 

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 year’s program, our associate class attended Fennemore’s firmwide attorney retreat—a 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

“I not only enjoyed, but thrived, during my summer at Fennemore. The firm is serious about treating every person as a member of a team. Even as a summer associate, I was able to attend the attorneys’ retreat and converse with the CEO and other top lawyers at the firm. After work began, I received excellent feedback from attorney mentors that greatly increased my writing and research capabilities. I was able to meet with clients and even participate in a mock trial program hosted by the firm. If there was a firm set on defining the future rather than focusing on the past, it would be Fennemore!.”

“My time at Fennemore this summer has been incredibly rewarding. The summer externship program has provided excellent opportunities to learn through detailed feedback, meaningful mentorship, and substantive assignments. Everyone at the firm has been welcoming, supportive, and approachable, which made a big difference as I navigated my first legal externship. This summer has shown me how special Fennemore’s culture and people truly are, and I cannot wait to return for my 2L summer.”
