Fast-Track Summer Program

Individual empowerment, preparing you for the unpredictable and tapping your complete skill set are as much cornerstones of GT’s summer program as they are of associate life at GT. That’s why we provide unconventional experiences for our Fast Track summer associates.

• The GT Business Challenge
  Since business and leadership skills are every bit as important to us as lawyering skills, we believe that summer associates ought to have equal opportunity to develop these skills during their summer with us. In addition to the day-to-day experiences to make that possible, GT summer associates participate in our annual Business Challenge – where they learn to run the business of the law firm and learn to organize and govern themselves as teams. For six weeks during the summer, while also working on client matters, our summer associates tackle such subjects as managing a successful law firm office, client development, global opportunities for U.S. law firms, and others – all with an emphasis on stimulating their creative thinking as business people and leaders. The GT Business Challenge is anything but an exercise. The work produced in the Business Challenge has been shared with clients and has been incorporated into the training of full-time associates.
• Leadership Month
  Clients that come to GT for its "built for change" talents expect that GT lawyers will help them lead. It's the reason GT empowers all GT lawyers to be leaders -- no matter how early it is in their career. Thus Leadership Month, a period during which summer associates get to see leaders in action and reflect on how to leverage their own leadership talents in GT's unique environment. The month kicks off with our summer associates in offices around the firm hearing about leadership GT-style from the firm's CEO. The month continues with meetings with clients during what we call In-House Counsel Day, and the opportunity to shadow GT leaders. At the end of the month, our summer associates regroup with their colleagues around the country -- to discuss being a leader from day one at GT.
• 3-D National Training
  A changing marketplace demands comfort with the unpredictable. That’s why we prepare summer associates (as we do associates) for “gray” – in the legal, business and leadership challenges they will face.
• Preparing summer associates for gray at GT is a multi-tiered process which starts with hiring lawyers with 3"D skills (legal, business and leadership) who also have the temperament and talents that make them highly effective at navigating change. From there it includes a combination of formal substantive training, mentoring, and the experience of being close to the action with clients. As lawyers shape their own career paths at GT these resources are at their fingertips day in and day out.
• The Hoffman Professionalism Center (HPC) is the hub of our substantive training programs. Named for Larry Hoffman, one of the founding partners and the chairman since 1997, HPC is central to the professional development of GT lawyers, paralegals and business staff. The Center offers live, interactive and multimedia programs on both broad and niche-based substantive skills.
• To further help summer associates internalize the skills they will need to make decisions in the moment, the firm’s leadership conducts programs focused on the practical and changing aspects of being a lawyer, business person and leader – in an everchanging marketplace.

At GT, summer associates also find the critical conventional foundations of a summer program, including feedback, mentoring and opportunities to get to know GT lawyers at social events.
