The Gallagher Sharp Difference

No sitting on the sidelines here. With 7 practice groups, associates gain immediate access to a wide variety of case experience that other law firms only offer to 5+ year attorneys.

Guidance

Whether you’re fresh out of law school or coming from another firm, you’ll be provided a roadmap to success along with a bullpen of support to help you grow as a professional.

LAW STUDENT RECRUITMENT AND CLERKSHIP PROGRAM

Gallagher Sharp strives to identify the top, most promising candidates to join the firm as part of the next generation of Gallagher Sharp attorneys. We recruit law students entering their third and final year of law school to participate in the firm’s clerkship program. Students selected as clerks participate in a paid clerkship program during the second semester of their final year of law school studies. Clerks are located in one of Gallagher Sharp’s four offices and have the opportunity to gain exposure to a variety of the firm’s practice areas. Serving as a Gallagher Sharp clerk affords students the opportunity to experience the practice of law in a real-time law firm environment, working directly with the firm’s attorneys on meaningful legal work for the firm’s clients.

Until a clerk successfully completes the clerkship program, the firm does not guarantee post-graduate employment. The firm anticipates, however, that students in the clerkship program join the firm as Associate Attorneys upon successful completion of the clerkship program, graduation from law school, and admission to the bar.

We recruit, hire, promote, and evaluate all qualified persons without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, or disability.
