Summer Associates
Each summer, Robbins Umeda LLP hires top-performing law students who are interested in gaining valuable and authentic complex litigation experience. We represent shareholders who demand transparent, honest, and effective corporate governance. We seek to hold corporate fiduciaries to account when they fall short. We match wits with the best on every case. We have to be fast, efficient, and effective to counter our adversaries' enormous resources. So, we don't just talk about integrating summer associates into our cases and providing them with real-world litigation experience—our practice demands it.
As a summer associate with Robbins Umeda LLP, you will be assigned to active cases and given opportunities to play a meaningful role. You will take on responsibilities similar to those handled by our junior associates. Our program goals include helping you to develop critical real-world legal skills through researching and drafting motions, participating in discovery, and helping to prepare for and observe depositions and court hearings, whenever possible.
In addition to working with our attorneys, summer associates participate in a number of informal training and social events designed to ensure that they have every opportunity to build lasting and valuable professional relationships with our experienced litigators.

Leo Kandinov"From day one, I was getting substantive assignments and dealing with real deadlines. I assisted with tasks from memos to motion work. I even helped draft an insert for an opposition brief to a motion to dismiss. It's the first time in my life when I didn't have to look at the clock every hour to count how much time I had left in the day. Things move fast here, and the work is very interesting." |
Dania Lopez"Working with the people at Robbins Umeda was my favorite aspect of the Summer Associate program. I really enjoyed working with the attorneys and the entire staff. I had the opportunity to work with approximately 70% of the attorneys, which I found valuable because I was exposed to different working styles and a variety of projects. The attorneys here want to help you grow as a professional and they offered meaningful guidance; I think that's important. Also, I want to do plaintiff side work, which I personally find to be a challenge and more rewarding, and this firm fights hard on behalf of shareholders." |
