Your Future, Further: A Summer Associate Experience Like No Other

Pillsbury is well-known for fostering an entrepreneurial environment that mirrors the broad range of clients we serve. We partner with companies ranging from microchip to blue chip—individuals with an idea and a dream and Fortune 50 clients alike.

We help clients thrive at the intersection of technology innovation, capital and government, with market-leading practices operating across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East to provide clients access to our authoritative commercial awareness.

We are proud to be a destination firm. Many of our lawyers are homegrown, choosing to start and stay with us because of the unique opportunities and collaborative spirit that we bring to everything we do. Others, who started their careers elsewhere, make the choice to join us mid-career and never look back. Here, you’re not just a cog in the wheel—you’ll have opportunities to shape your own practice and career.

At Pillsbury, we offer real experience from day one. That starts with our recruitment of intentionally smaller summer class, ensuring that the resulting relationships are more than transactional—we know you and you know us. We’re not here to “weed people out,” we’re looking to create opportunities for future stars.

Expect a summer that’s hard work but also fun, with a high-energy, yet laid-back vibe—cool lawyers with all the big law prestige and none of the stuffiness.

If you’re looking for a place where you can be yourself, build a rewarding and sustainable career, achieve your full potential, and make a meaningful difference for clients driving the economy and changing the world, this is where you belong.

Start here. Stay here. Succeed here.
