Merchant & Gould greeted eight summer associates across the Minneapolis, New York, and Knoxville offices on June 1 – the biggest group since the firm began the summer program in 1995. The law students will work alongside our attorneys for eight weeks.

"We are excited to give our summer clerks a variety of educational and professional experiences to help advance their careers and bring them success.  Likewise, we value their fresh perspective and new insight – qualities that are important for enhancing our intellectual property practice and for working with inventors and entrepreneurs,” said Chris Leonard, Managing Director and CEO of Merchant & Gould.
