- "During my interview at Thompson & Knight, I noticed the warm friendships among the attorneys I had lunch with. That same warmth was shared with me during my summer program. There was an interest in me not just as a future attorney but as a person. I found it refreshing and unique how open and accessible associates and partners were in sharing about the firm. T&K is a special place with even more special people."
Mike Lii, Finance Associate, University of California, Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law - "My summer at Thompson & Knight LLP was great in so many ways. The assignments were real and the events were awesome. The best thing about T&K is the people. I always felt like I was among friends, even with more senior partners, and everyone made me feel welcome and wanted. When I was looking at law firms, I wanted to choose one where I could see myself spending the next thirty years, and T&K most certain is the one."
Brian Andrews, Trial Associate, Duke University School of Law - "I could not have asked for a better summer experience than the one I had at TK. There was a terrific balance of good, interesting work and entertaining social activities. I was never assigned to simple 'busy work.' I did challenging work that was comparable to that of entry level associates. By working directly in the sections I was interested in I was able to see what the daily life is really like. The summer showed me what my life would be like working at the firm, and I knew that TK was the kind of firm I wanted to join."
Adam Hill, Real Estate and Banking Associate, Duke University School of Law - "Thompson & Knight stands apart from other firms. At T&K, they don't just talk about diversity, they are actively pursuing and achieving their goals. I also chose Thompson & Knight because I felt a genuine connection with not only the associates, but the partners. It's firm that takes a true interest in cultivating young attorneys, and as someone coming directly out of law school, that was important to me."
Toni Brown, Corporate Associate, University of Texas School of Law - "Thompson & Knight offered me the best of both worlds: challenging and sophisticated legal issues and a family atmosphere. Everyone at T&K truly took an interest in all the new associates, not only in our work product but also in our personal lives."
Vishal Patel, Intellectual Property Associate, University of Houston School of Law - "My experience with Thompson & Knight's summer program exceeded my expectations. The work I was given was interesting and substantive, the assigning partners took the time to give me meaningful feedback, and the people were friendly and welcoming. I could tell that the camaraderie there was genuine."
Emily Tubb, Corporate Associate, University of Texas School of Law - "If I had to best explain the summer program at TK with one word it would be "real." The summer program at TK struck the perfect balance between allowing me to become an actual associate for 7 weeks to see what it will really be like working there while at the same time introducing me to all that Houston has to offer outside the office. I found it sincere that TK did not attempt to blur the image of what life as an associate will be like by constantly partaking in wining and dining, but instead gave me an opportunity to get involved in legitimate legal matters while still saving some time to enjoy the city in high style. This experience allowed me to witness first hand under real conditions that TK embraces the considerations that are most important to me: getting involved in cutting edge and complex legal work from day one, finding a firm I feel comfortable with making a potential lifelong career and reciprocal commitment with, and a firm which respects and promotes a proper work-life balance."
