The Gray Reed Summer Associate Program
At Gray Reed, the summer associate program is our primary method for hiring first-year associates. With a vested interest in protecting the firm’s culture and standard of excellence, we invest in our future colleagues early on; showing you the ropes of real, billable case work, legal research and client meetings. You'll find that you have the ability to set the path of your career based on your personal and professional goals. We also believe in making sure our attorneys have early client contact and handle complex issues while still having the cushion of an experienced attorney helping them.
Gray Reed hosts summer associates in our Dallas and Houston offices during the first nine weeks of summer, beginning in mid-May. Throughout our summer associate program, we incorporate social activities to facilitate the building of relationships and to give our summer associates a good flavor of our culture.
Gray Reed is frequently honored as one of the "Best Places to Work" by both the
Dallas Business Journal
and the
Houston Business Journal
. For 2024, Gray Reed ranked #8 in Vault's regional ranking for the Best Midsize Law Firms in Texas
. This is a testament to the atmosphere and culture that we have created at Gray Reed.

, Partner
“As a Gray Reed Summer Associate, I was treated as a real member of the Gray Reed team. I worked on projects that had a real impact on cases. I also got to sit in on depositions, client meetings, meetings with expert witnesses, and hearings. After my time as a summer associate, I had no doubt that Gray Reed was where I wanted to begin my legal career.”
– Lydia Webb
, Partner, 2011 Summer Associate
“A summer clerkship is one of the most important components of the law school experience. At Gray Reed, our clerkships are designed to closely resemble what life is like as a young associate at our firm.”
– Drew York
, Hiring Partner, 2004 Summer Associate
“Summer associates are part of our teams, working on the same projects that young associates are. I loved the opportunity to work on motions and discovery that really impacted our clients and felt like a part of the team. I enjoyed the opportunity to work for a variety of partners and to participate in substantive work. At the end of my summer as a Gray Reed summer associate, I was sure this was the team that I wanted to be a part of because I knew what work as a new associate would be like. I’m so glad to say that working as a new lawyer for Gray Reed is exactly what I expected!”
