Summer Associate Offer Rates (2015): Is Your Firm Keeping It 100?

Which Biglaw firms went on a summer associate job offer spree?

Summer associates worked really hard gunning for their offers this year, and given the dearth of summer associate stories, they were apparently on their very best behavior. That being the case, we’d like to think that this summer’s offer rates will be absolutely awesome.

Which firms are rocking 100 percent offer rates? This is information that rising 2Ls will want to know, as the new on-campus interviewing season starts up very soon.

  • McDermott Will & Emery (Chicago)
  • Fried Frank (New York)
  • Latham & Watkins (San Francisco)

The Midwest and the West Coast have got it on lock this year with making early offers, but we’re waiting for some other New York firms to pop the corks on bottles of bubbly. We normally see several firms from the Big Apple sending their summers back to school with offers in hand by this point. Come on, NYC firms, what are you waiting for?

At the very least, after a party like this, we seriously hope this firm had a 100 percent rate:
