Seasonal Associates
Law Students
At Meyer Capel, we are committed to developing the next generation of attorneys and preparing our seasonal associates for successful careers following law school. Our seasonal associates, current law students who have completed at least their 1L year, embark on a meaningful journey with us. They engage in a variety of meaningful assignments, participate in practice group meetings, and occasionally benefit from off-site opportunities. They also have the chance to work directly with attorneys and clients while receiving ongoing feedback from experienced Meyer Capel attorneys. Our seasonal associate opportunities include summer associate positions of approximately 37.5 hours per week, part-time fall seasonal associate positions of 12-15 hours per week, and part-time spring seasonal associate positions of 12-15 hours per week.
Seasonal associates support our attorneys with research projects, drafting pleadings, contracts, and other documents. They gain exposure to a broad range of practice areas and, as time allows, are encouraged to observe client meetings, depositions, court hearings, real estate closings, estate plan signings, and more. This hands-on experience helps them understand both the practice of law and the business of private legal practice.
Our seasonal associate alumni have enjoyed successful careers in various fields, including positions at Meyer Capel, other professional service firms, the judiciary, academia, the public sector, and entrepreneurship.
This is a great opportunity for students interested in private practice at a mid-sized firm that values its clients, staff, and culture. To apply, please visit Meyer Capel’s Careers page or contact your law school’s career services office.

Meyer Capel has been recognized as a Platinum level employer from the University of Illinois College of Law for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
