Leydig, Voit & Mayer hires law students each year to participate in its Summer Associate Program. Summer associates have the opportunity to engage in a broad range of activities equivalent to those of a first year associate, including legal research, brief writing, pre-trial discovery and patent and/or trademark prosecution. The firm offers valuable exposure to the courtroom by involving summer associates in all aspects of trial preparation, including accompanying attorneys to hearings, motion calls, depositions and portions of trials that are held in Chicago.
