Recruiting/Summer Associate Program

Scandaglia & Ryan believes that in addition to providing our clients the best possible representation and counsel, we have a responsibility for preparing future attorneys.

Our Summer Associate Program provides unique opportunities for first and second-year law students to gain experience and develop their legal intellect. At Scandaglia & Ryan, students have the opportunity to work alongside seasoned veterans.

Our partners serve as mentors, providing a high level of guidance and knowledge. Our program goes beyond just research and memoranda writing to developing associates who possess the training, confidence and depth of experience to carry them anywhere they choose to go.

Combining the best of the big firms with the benefits of a smaller one, mentors and associates alike find our summer experience one of the most rewarding and challenging.
