Careers

GET STARTED WITH US

MPS Law has always relied heavily on finding and developing talented young attorneys to supplement and support our staff; in fact, a number of our current partners started as summer interns or entry-level associates. As such, we regard our summer associate and clerk program to be our most important recruiting tool. Selected participants rotate through each practice group, receiving exposure to our four core practice areas, gaining early first-hand experience with clients and partners and making valuable contributions with real impact to the team and the firm. It is a rare opportunity that is as challenging as it is rewarding. Successful internship candidates and first-year associates must have the following credentials:

Exceptionally strong writing skills with journal or law review experience
Minimum 3.0 GPA

Prior hands-on work experience in a law firm or related entity
Interns must be 2L

New associates can expect a competitive compensation/benefits package, reasonable billing requirements, remote desktop access, and excellent growth potential.

PRACTICE WITH US

For MPS Law, growth is a means, not an end; as such, we’re always interested in adding attorneys who understand our culture and feel they can thrive within it while enhancing the firm’s stature and capabilities. We’re an ideal fit for practitioners who are accustomed to working autonomously and relish the idea of a truly entrepreneurial environment that offers exceptional rewards for exceptional work. A significant number of our current partners have arrived via lateral moves, some from big firms, some from small, and some from in-house positions at client-side companies. All have come to relish the opportunity to succeed on their own terms, building their practice without having to serve the corporate master. If that’s something you think you may be interested in pursuing, we’d love to hear from you.
