Merchant & Gould greeted seven summer associates across the Minneapolis, Denver, and Knoxville offices on June 1.  Merchant & Gould has welcomed law students for over 25 years to work alongside our attorneys for 8 weeks this year. 

“We are thrilled to kick off this summer’s associate program, bringing fresh perspective and new insight to Merchant & Gould.  Each associate excels in all areas of their academic and professional interests and has earned an undergraduate degree in engineering.  We salute their drive, endurance and entrepreneurial instinct – all important skills for our intellectual property practice and work with innovators and inventors,” said Chris Leonard, Managing Director, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, Merchant & Gould.
