Associate Hiring
The bulk of the first-year associate class is recent graduates of the nation's top law schools who were hired as summer associates for the summer between their second and third years of law school. In 2010, Kirkland's office in Chicago made an offer of permanent employment to each of its 32 summer associates. Summer associates (mostly second-year law students) are paid the same base rate as first-year associates, or roughly $3,100/week before taxes. Incoming associates are given a $10,000 stipend.
