Founded in 1959, Young Conaway has grown into one of the largest law firms in Delaware, with over 125 attorneys based in our headquarters in Wilmington, and has expanded our practices to New York and North Carolina, providing legal services through our multi-faceted national, regional, and local practice areas. We actively recruit 1L and 2L students for our annual Summer Associate Program in Delaware, as well as 3L students, judicial law clerks and lateral attorneys.

We pride ourselves on providing our summer associates with real-world exposure to both our clients and our firm. Hallmarks of the Summer Program include a centrally-coordinated assignment allocation process, a summer-long writing program, and extensive mentoring and feedback, all fostered by our open-door, collegial atmosphere.

Our commitment to the professional development of our attorneys continues as we welcome first-year and lateral associates. Our developmental structure allows new attorneys to learn strategic thinking and legal theory from more experienced attorneys through involvement in large, complex matters, while also providing opportunities for new attorneys to individually handle smaller, less complex matters with significant client contact and case management responsibilities. In addition to our in-house continuing legal education programs, we further encourage our attorneys' professional development by providing each associate with an annual stipend to be used for business development, continuing legal education, and professional association memberships as well as a business-related technology allowance to promote each attorney's individual practice needs.
