Summer Associate Program: New York
What Our Students Say About Us
Past summer associates agree that the Torys summer program provided them with a rewarding opportunity to experience, firsthand, the practice of law. The fact that so many of them choose to join us on a permanent basis speaks to the success of our program. Here are a few comments made by former Torys' summer associates:
“The summer program at Torys is an ideal situation: all of the perks of a large firm – high quality work, fantastic events, great support staff – but with the collegial atmosphere that is unique to a smaller firm. Not only is Torys a firm that you can have pride working at, but one at which you can envision yourself remaining with in the long run.”

“Torys has the priceless combination of sophisticated professionalism and welcoming camaraderie. I enjoy coming to work everyday knowing that my colleagues expect the best of me yet are always appreciative of my effort.”

“The work assigned to summer associates is real work; it gets used by attorneys for clients. I never feel as if I'm just being kept busy for the sake of being kept busy.
Torys is a great working environment. The combination of nice office space and friendly, caring people makes it easy to come to work.
I have had an incredible experience – from being treated like a real associate (in ways ranging from having a BlackBerry to enjoying a window office to working on real cases), to a wonderful social experience, including a weekend trip to the Firm's home office in Toronto, daily lunches at Manhattan restaurants, as well as Friday cupcakes and planning our own happy hours in the office.”

“The summer associate program was truly an amazing experience. We were given substantive work that was both interesting and challenging at times, which indicated to me that they not only expected a lot from us, but also trusted our judgment and had confidence in our abilities. We also had many opportunities to socialize during our summer events, which were always a lot of fun.”
