Summer Associate Offer Rates (2015): A Round-Up

Lots of Biglaw firms are having a hiring bonanza. Is your firm one of them?

It’s the last day of the first week of August, and it seems that Biglaw firms are still handing out offers to their summer associates like candy. Don’t worry if you haven’t received one yet, because some firms are still waiting until their summers are back in school before they welcome their new crop of future associates.

How full is your firm’s newest associate class looking? We’ve got some information that’ll help you answer that question.

Following up on Monday’s post on Biglaw offer rates, here are more firms that have given offers to all of their summer associates (grouped by city and in alphabetical order):

  • Mintz Levin (Boston)
  • Kirkland & Ellis (Chicago)
  • Polsinelli (Chicago)
  • Ropes & Gray (Chicago)
  • Skadden Arps (Chicago)
  • Goodwin Procter (New York)
  • Kaye Scholer (New York)
  • Kenyon & Kenyon (New York)
  • Kirkland & Ellis (New York)
  • Orrick (New York)

Congrats to everyone on their offers. Isn’t is awesome to have a job before graduation?

If you have corrections to the list — i.e., an office listed above that does NOT belong on the 100 percent list — please email us at tips@abovethelaw.com, or text us at 646-820-8477.

If you have additions to this list, please note them in the comments to this post. Right now, it’s more newsworthy if a firm does NOT have a 100 percent offer rate than if it does.

On that note, please let us hear about firms that are NOT issuing offers to all their summer associates. If you know of a firm or an office with an unusually low offer rate — which we will arbitrarily define here as something under 66 percent, or two-thirds — please email us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Offer Rate”). For example, we’ve heard some rumblings about a low offer rate at a certain firm’s Pittsburgh office. If we hear more on this firm, or any others with low offer rates, we will investigate and perhaps write a story.

P.S. We’re about to close the nominations for our summer associate event contest. If you have an event you’d like to nominate, please email us or text us as soon as you can.
