The Summer Associate recruiting process starts each year when Foster Swift visits a number of Midwest law schools and job fairs and accepts resumes from law students around the country.
Our goal in this process is to find those individuals who have the potential for outstanding long-term legal careers with Foster Swift. Many of the current attorneys at Foster Swift began their legal career as a Summer Associate at the firm.
CALL-BACK INTERVIEWS
Over a decade ago, we resolved to improve the quality and efficiency of our recruiting process. All call-back invitations are now extended for one day in late August or early September. This schedule allows the firm's interviewing lawyers to dedicate uninterrupted time and attention to this very important aspect of the firm's future. In addition, this process has dramatically reduced the time historically required to inform candidates about hiring decisions.
All expenses are paid for candidates accepting the firm's call-back invitations.
We're Hiring!
If you are interested in applying for a 2023 summer associate position, please email your cover letter, resume and a writing sample to khafley@fosterswift.com by August 8, 2022.
