What types of cases or legal matters do Entry Associate Attorneys typically handle in their first year?

As an Entry Associate Attorney, you can expect to work on a variety of foundational legal tasks such as conducting legal research, drafting memos and briefs, assisting with discovery, and supporting senior attorneys during hearings or depositions. While the specific matters depend on the firm’s practice areas, entry-level associates often rotate through different departments or support multiple projects to gain broad exposure. This not only helps build essential legal skills but also provides insight into potential areas of specialization as you advance in your career.
