Fitzpatrick is now accepting applications from upcoming second year law students for the 2017 summer associate program. To apply, please send your resume, transcripts and writing sample to our Director of Recruiting, Nicole Cohen at ncohen@fchs.com.

Fitzpatrick, Cella provides a unique opportunity to practice in one of the most exciting areas of the law, intellectual property, in a friendly and collegial work environment. Our firm is a meritocracy: there are no organizational barriers or arbitrary time periods to impede individual progress and our aim in hiring a lawyer is to find a future partner. Similarly, we stress the quality rather than the quantity of our lawyers' work: there is no minimum number of billable hours (daily or annual) required of our attorneys.

We look for a good academic record and excellent writing skills, and prefer a scientific or technical background. We do not base our hiring decisions on any predetermined requirements with respect to law school class standing.
