Meet Our 2024 Summer Associate Class

May 20, 2024
We are pleased to welcome 323 law students as summer associates in our London and US offices.

During the 10-week program, running from May 20 to July 26, our summer associates will experience life as junior associates at the firm, as they engage in meaningful work across our litigation, corporate, finance, and tax departments and work on pro bono matters. Our summer associates will have opportunities to connect with each other, their assigned mentors, and senior Latham leaders during networking and training events. A highlight of the program, Summer Academy, will immerse our summer associates in the firm’s collaborative and collegial culture through training seminars and social events with Latham lawyers.

“This year’s class of summer associates represents a mosaic of perspectives and backgrounds, and reflects the global and diverse ethos that we champion at our firm. Their impressive accomplishments and wide-ranging experiences promise to enrich our culture and drive innovation across Latham,” said Michèle Penzer, Global Chair of Latham’s Recruiting Committee.
