Careers
The Delaware Counsel Group LLP offers great opportunities for employment as a summer associate. Thanks in part to our size, we offer a unique learning experience focused on experiential learning with direct client contact. We like to involve our summer associates in all aspects of client representation, providing a unique perspective of legal practice much different from programs offered at most larger firms.
Former Associate and Summer Associate at The Delaware Counsel Group:
‘It was a terrific experience to work for the Delaware Counsel Group LLP as a young lawyer. The emphasis was on resolving client issues rather than billable hours. Whether it was reviewing a legal question or corresponding with a client, I was provided with the opportunity to learn and the guidance to resolve the client matter. This approach has translated very effectively into my current career. The training I received at the law firm provided me with the ability to communicate with business executives and instilled a business results-oriented attitude to legal questions that has been enormously helpful.’

Summer Associate at The Delaware Counsel Group:
‘Whether through contract drafting, observation of cross border transaction negotiations, or the review of entity formation documents, The Delaware Counsel Group LLP provides a law student with all the tools necessary to become a successful corporate lawyer. During the summer I was able to fortify what I learned in the classroom with real legal experience. Instead of just researching issues and preparing memoranda for attorneys, I was able to sit in on client meetings and conduct interviews prior to tackling projects. Hence, the process allowed me to fully utilize my legal skills and develop my ability to communicate, analyze facts, and solve legal problems. Unlike a typical large law firm, the Delaware Counsel Groups works as one unit on large transactions, hence over the summer I was able to work closely with partners and observe their interactions with clients and opposing counsel. A summer position with The Delaware Counsel Group LLP is not a typical internship, but one that will teach you the skills necessary to succeed as an attorney.’

Summer Associate at The Delaware Counsel Group:
‘During my time with The Delaware Counsel Group LLP, I was able to gain valuable hands-on experience in ways I never expected from a summer associateship. Due to the firm’s small size, I was able to work hand-in-hand with its managing partners on a wide variety of legal matters. I especially liked the firm’s emphasis on big-picture case management, as I would not only research legal issues and draft documents but also closely observe client interaction and firm management. In addition to legal work, I was given managerial responsibility with regard to firm marketing, putting together a well-researched literature packet and coordinating all facets of the construction of a new firm website. My experience with the Delaware Counsel Group has been quite invaluable and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something more in depth and informative than your typical summer associateship.’
