The firm says what sets it apart is that it counsels both corporate clients and private clients. Its private client department, which handles trusts and estates and related planning for individuals and families, is a large part of the firm, and Day Pitney describes those services as among the most extensive in the country.
For students, the summer program is small enough that the firm tailors work assignments to each summer associate's practice interests, with designated partner and associate mentors and work drawn from the firm's real client matters. Associates then join a practice group chosen with their preferences and the firm's needs in mind.

More about Day Pitney
Each summer associate has designated partner and associate mentors, along with work assignment coordinators and program chairs, and gets formal and informal feedback throughout the summer. The firm says the small size of its program lets it customize each summer. Students apply through on-campus interviews at their law school, or through the firm's online portal if the firm does not recruit at their school, with a cover letter, resume, unofficial transcript and a two-to-three-page writing sample.
