Law Students

Bush Gottlieb offers exciting opportunities for law students and recent graduates who are passionate about the labor movement and committed to providing our clients with the highest quality representation.

Summer Program

We are committed to providing guidance, feedback, and mentorship for those contemplating careers in our field. As summer associates, law students work with the firm’s partners and associates on a wide variety of legal matters. We expect our summer associates to learn the nuts and bolts of practice while working on a stimulating array of labor law problems. A summer associate can expect to provide research support, to draft briefs, memoranda, and correspondence, and to assist in investigation and handling of unfair labor practices. Summer associates will have opportunities to attend hearings and arbitrations concerning matters on which they have worked. On occasion, we offer the opportunity to continue as a law clerk during the school year, enhancing the student’s experience with our practice.

Bush Gottlieb offers a compensation package that is competitive with our union-side peers, including medical and dental benefits, and a pension plan.

We encourage applications from people of color, and participate in the AFL-CIO Lawyers Coordinating Committee’s programs for recruiting lawyers from racial and ethnic minorities.
