“My summer experience at Thompson Coburn could not have been better. The whiteboard system gave me the opportunity to work on a variety of challenging projects in the areas that interest me. The attorneys that I worked with gave me intriguing assignments and took the time to explain where my work fit into the case as a whole. The attorneys at the firm also gave me the invaluable opportunity to attend numerous out-of-office legal proceedings and experience the practice of law in the courtroom. The summer program at TC is designed to show you what it is like to be an attorney at the firm and it succeeds in every regard.”
“In addition to the work, the summer program staff made sure that I had ample opportunity to get know as many of the attorneys in the firm as possible. Whether it was hanging out with attorneys at Cardinals games, getting to know my fellow summer associates in a cooking class, playing softball in our local leagues, or attending private dinners at partners’ homes, I felt like the firm was invested in ensuring that I had the opportunity to meet as many people as possible. At the end of the summer, I knew that the people at TC are what set it apart from other firms.”

“My summer experience at Thompson Coburn was honestly more than I could have expected. From meaningful work assignments such as drafting motions and court appearances, to well-planned summer activities such as a trip to Mount Pleasant Winery, the annual Firm Dinner, and a community service day at Food Outreach, the Firm offers everything you could want from a summer program. Even though I have spent the last six years in St. Louis completing my undergraduate studies, working, and beginning law school, I found myself taking part in a number of activities and events around the city for the very first time.
Still, the best part of the summer program is seeing how invested the recruiting staff and attorneys truly were in our experiences and our success. The attorneys I have worked with have been welcoming to questions and concerns, and the program coordinators are available at every turn.”

"I had an amazing experience working as a Summer Associate at Thompson Coburn. The recruiting staff and employment committee worked together closely to ensure that everyday was filled with opportunities for challenging assignments and relaxing social events. Through this balance I was not only able to understand the great variety of practice areas TC offers, but also got to know the people along the way. Additionally, Summer Associates work closely with mentors that serve as a friendly guide through the summer experience, introducing them to people and acclimating them to the firm. Most importantly, I was very comfortable with the environment and people at Thompson Coburn. The firm is greatly respected for having so many of the best legal minds in the country, but retains a trusting culture that takes a sincere interest in the people at every level." |
