“I had the great opportunity to be a Hunton Andrews Kurth summer associate for two summers and in two different offices. I spent my first summer in the Richmond, Virginia, office and my second summer in the Washington, D.C., office. The Hunton Andrews Kurth firm culture resonates beyond the walls of its twenty global offices because of the people. Hunton Andrews Kurth staff members and attorneys embody an unparalleled sense of pride, congeniality, inclusion of diversity and investment in professional development. Hunton Andrews Kurth demonstrated its dedication to my professional development and diversity by sponsoring our first-year summer associate class’ attendance at the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Conference in my first summer. I later went on to work closely with various Hunton Andrews Kurth attorneys throughout my summer associate programs in which I handled comprehensive legal assignments from various teams. Every Hunton Andrews Kurth attorney I have met has made it a priority to foster a genuine relationship with me, which is best exhibited when firmwide Managing Partner, Wally Martinez, traveled to D.C. simply to have lunch with our summer associate class. There are many Hunton Andrews Kurth attorneys that will serve as strong mentors for me as I launch my legal career.
I am ecstatic to start as a first-year associate at Hunton Andrews Kurth where I will be joining the Global Technology, Outsourcing and Privacy Law team in Washington D.C. in the fall of 2019.”
