Careers in New York

Associates (Recent Graduates and U.S. Law Practitioners)

To submit an application to the New York office, please send an application package consisting of a cover letter, resume and law school transcript via our candidate application portal. Also, please read the Firm’s Visa Policy for Lawyers, which sets forth S&C’s policies and practices in relation to its lawyers who hold non-U.S. passports.

Summer Associates

If you are interested in applying for a summer associate position and your school allows you to interview before OCI, please submit a resume, transcript and cover letter via our candidate application portal as soon as you receive your 1L spring grades.

If S&C participates in OCI at your law school, please also be sure to rank S&C highly when making your OCI bid selections. If S&C does not interview at your law school, please apply directly to the Firm as instructed above.

Visiting Lawyers Program

Candidates should apply via e-mail to: legalrecruiting@sullcrom.com

Applications should be submitted as early as possible, but no later than the end of January in the year in which applicants wish to join the program. Applications should include a resume, a transcript from the home-country law school and, if applicable, a transcript from any U.S. law school attended. Applications should also include a statement of the candidate’s intentions following completion of the program, such as return to a specific home-country firm, further academic work or practice of law in the United States.

All of the applicants are carefully considered, and a small number of candidates are invited to our New York office for an interview. S&C will reimburse the travel costs of applicants coming from law schools within the United States. The current employers of applicants traveling from overseas are expected to bear the costs of travel to New York.

We usually select the final candidates for the Visiting Lawyers Program in February or March for the program beginning in the fall. Unfortunately, because of the small size of the program and our desire to have lawyers from a broad range of countries represented over time, we must turn down many highly qualified candidates of exceptional merit.

Our success is a direct result of the quality of our lawyers, the most broadly and deeply trained collection of attorneys in the world. We hire the very best law school graduates and train them to be generalists within broad practice areas. We promote lawyers to partner almost entirely from among our own associates. The result is a partnership with a unique diversity of experience, exceptional professional judgment and a demonstrated history of innovation.

There is no “S&C type.” Our lawyers come from a diverse range of backgrounds. Along with our commitment to superior legal service, S&C is equally dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. Not only do we believe that this is the right thing to do, but we also believe that diversity is vital to recruiting the best lawyers and to providing the highest level of service to our clients. Our culture and policies value the individual abilities and perspectives of every team member, and support diversity in its broadest sense.
