The firm provides corporate, litigation and regulatory legal services to leading businesses, governmental entities, nonprofit organizations and individuals throughout the nation and the world. Our firm has grown from a two-person law office formed in 1890 in Philadelphia to a sophisticated, large law firm with a national and international practice. While much about Pepper Hamilton is new and different from its beginnings, we retain traditional values passed down through the decades: respect for the rule of law, pride in an excellent work product and commitment to the client's cause. Today, Pepper Hamilton is a diverse firm of men and women from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, united in these values. We use the breadth of our practices and the depth of our experience to help clients solve problems and realize business goals. SUMMER ASSOCIATE PROGRAM: Our program is structured so summer associates have the opportunity to experience all aspects of our practice and life as an associate at Pepper Hamilton. We make an effort to collect assignments that will expose summer associates to multiple practice groups, pro bono work, and facilitate frequent contact with the firm's lawyers. A committee of associates runs the program, offering guidance to the summer associates and ensuring substantive feedback from the lawyers for whom their work is performed. The summer program is our primary source of full-time associates. NALP is committed to helping make the legal profession accessible to all individuals on a non-discriminatory basis. NALP is opposed to discrimination based upon actual or perceived gender, age, race, color, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic information, parental, marital, domestic partner, civil union, military, or veteran status.
