Work Assignments
The best way for Summer Associates to learn about the types of work we do and what life is like at Bilzin Sumberg is to let them choose the assignments that interest them most and then let them take an active role in those assignments. Summer Associates attend and participate in client conferences, as well as attend court hearings, trials and transaction closings.
Each Summer Associate is encouraged and given the opportunity to
select and handle assignments from a variety of practice areas. A
few of the following work assignments were undertaken by our 2007

- Conducted international law research of U.S. - Argentinean
