Our Summer Associate Program offers 2L students an opportunity to engage in intellectually stimulating work that is indicative of real associate life.

We provide work assignments, client experiences, mentoring, and training that approximate those provided to younger associates. In addition, we provide ample opportunities for you to get to know and be known by firm attorneys in social and professional settings. We believe it is important to know the people with whom you will spend your career and to be comfortable with the decision to practice law with them. We've designed our Summer Associate Program to be an enjoyable, challenging experience which will allow both you and us to determine if you are the right fit for our firm. When we mutually come to that determination, then it is likely that we will have a long and successful working relationship.

As a summer associate at Williams Parker, you'll join a team of experienced lawyers who care about your growth as a successful attorney. We strive to ensure your experience is rich with substantive work that both interests and challenges you and to provide you with invaluable guidance, feedback, and opportunities for networking and development. Our summer program is designed to give students a real sense of what it means to practice at Williams Parker-from legal research to brief writing to the “Big Project,” you'll contribute to real work for real clients and experience all aspects of life at the firm.

Our program attracts qualified candidates from a range of law schools, such as Boston, Cornell, Emory, Florida State, Georgetown, John Marshall, Stetson University, Texas A&M, University of Alabama, University of California-Berkeley, University of Florida, University of Michigan, University of Texas, University of Virginia, Vanderbilt, and Washington and Lee.
The “Big Project”

At the cornerstone of our summer program is the “Big Project”-an opportunity for our summer associates to gain a realistic sense of law firm life and work. Each of the firm's practice areas prepares several in-depth research assignments, from which students select to focus a significant portion of their clerkship. Each summer associate will work closely with a designated attorney to develop their project, conducting significant research and writing, and receiving valuable feedback and guidance throughout the process. At the culmination of the project, students will make oral presentations of their projects to attorneys from across the firm.

In addition to the “Big Project,” summer associates will have opportunities to handle a number of smaller assignments from attorneys throughout the firm. Our goal is to help you develop and succeed as attorneys. In addition to serving as mentors, our attorneys provide comprehensive feedback regarding each assignment with which students are tasked.

Anchored by the foundation of a well-run partnership, team members have unparalleled access to Senior Bankers and are rewarded with responsibilities commensurate with demonstrated skill and professional maturity. MTS promotes an environment based on teamwork and camaraderie, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, accountability and innovation.

Why Clients Choose MTS as Their Banker

MTS Health Partners, L.P., is a preeminent New York City-based healthcare investment bank, providing strategic advisory services related to mergers & acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, and equity and structured products capital markets transactions for companies in the global healthcare industry. MTS focuses on the following subsectors of the healthcare industry: healthcare services, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, generics, medical devices and diagnostics.

Founded in 2000, MTS is distinguished by its dedicated healthcare industry focus, senior level hands-on deal execution, and the unique perspective and network MTS brings given the deep experience of its senior professional team - all without the conflicts of interest that most banks face. The U.S. and global healthcare industry is currently in the midst of unprecedented growth and change in a volatile economic environment; MTS plays a crucial role in advising our clients as they face critical strategic and financial decisions during these times.

Uniquely, MTS' business model focuses on alignment with our clients, building long-term relationships and engineering and executing the “right” transaction for our client. We specialize in executing complex transactions (e.g. mergers, restructurings, privately negotiated equity, structured debt, hybrid financings) where our “skill” as bankers is more important than the “scale” of an organization, such as in widely syndicated transactions (e.g. follow-on equity offerings, senior debt offerings). However, when a situation calls for a hybrid approach of private negotiation and public syndication, we also have the ability, as a registered broker-deal, and the flexibility to call on our experience and relationships to orchestrate the appropriate deal. Whereas many banks are divided into industry coverage groups and product groups, the same deal team at MTS originates and executes the transaction, thus maintaining control of every aspect of advice, strategy, and execution and avoiding the conflicts of interest seen at other advisory firms.
