This decision arises out of our conclusion that, given current and expected conditions, we cannot provide for a meaningful summer experience that allows our students to perform to their full potential.
— a spokesperson for Pepper Hamilton, commenting on the firm’s recent decision to cancel its summer associate program alongside that of its merger partner, Troutman Sanders.
