Candidates should be current 3L law students (graduating in the spring of 2025). At Sheppard Mullin, we train our associates and help them grow as lawyers, and part of that training involves early and frequent work directly with clients. We have superb clients, and we work on interesting and cutting-edge projects. This is an excellent opportunity to join a collegial office environment while working closely with experienced practitioners on sophisticated matters at a national level. Our energetic team of corporate attorneys work with clients ranging from private to public companies, startups and emerging businesses to international corporations, and they span a diverse range of industries including aerospace and defense, consumer products, electronics, entertainment, financial services, food and beverage, manufacturing, retail and technology. This is a Partnership-track position and offers great growth opportunities.
