Beck Redden’s Summer Associate Program offers law students the opportunity to experience life as a litigator at one of Texas’s premier litigation boutiques.
Summer associates work directly with attorneys on substantive assignments for actual clients and gain firsthand exposure to all phases of trial and appellate practice. From legal research and brief writing to observing trials, oral arguments, hearings, depositions, arbitrations, and client meetings, summer associates are immersed in meaningful work from the start. There is no “make work” in our program.
In addition to hands-on legal experience, summer associates receive mentorship, regular feedback, and opportunities to build relationships across the firm through social and community events.
We seek highly motivated law students with strong academic credentials, excellent writing and analytical skills, and a genuine interest in litigation and advocacy.
Applications open on November 1

Beck Redden is the place to be for aspiring trial lawyers. I had the opportunity to join a team set for trial during the summer program. After weeks of real, time-sensitive assignments on the case, I watched Beck Redden deliver a complete verdict for the client. All this experience is combined with a calendar of fun events designed for summer associates to meet the whole firm and understand its second-to-none culture.

Beck Redden is a firm of excellent attorneys who do excellent work while being excellent people—and they help their summer associates become the same. The firm trusts summer associates with substantial work, allowing them freedom and opportunity to become experts on discrete issues in their cases. Yet more importantly, that work brings summer associates side-by-side with partners and associates alike, building a uniquely collaborative and convivial environment. Across over a dozen motions from drafts to filing, research, reports, and review, I experienced the mutual respect, friendship, and dedication to excellence that made Beck Redden the perfect place to learn by doing and by example!

Beck Redden gave me a comprehensive view of life as a young lawyer at the firm. I had the opportunity to attend parts of two trials, as well as several hearings and depositions, where young associates took on meaningful speaking roles in real cases. Many of my assignments were used in court, which made the work feel substantive and valued. While every firm boasts a collegial environment, the attorneys at Beck Redden are genuinely friends with each other and consistently made themselves available to the summer associates.

What I loved about working at Beck Redden this summer was that I wasn’t just getting busy work. The attorneys trusted me with motions and briefing that needed to get filed and in return I got a wealth of practical experience that you won’t get at most summer programs.
