Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “Overall, I am quite happy. I get a good variety of interesting work and I like the people I work with.”
• “Being a mid-level associate at Holland & Knight is very satisfying. I am exposed to the highest level of work, have significant responsibility and ownership for large projects, and get to do so in an environment that is far more pleasant and flexible than most large law firms.”
• “I love the assignments that I get—when I get them. But work is slow, and there are a lot of associates competing for the same assignments.”
• “I enjoy the interesting and challenging work. I am happy with the practical experience, trial work, and independence.”
