Summer Associate
Picard Kentz & Rowe LLP (“PKR”) is seeking first or second year law students for our summer associate program. PKR is a boutique law firm in Washington D.C. with a practice focused on international trade law and policy from the perspective of American industries. PKR strongly believes that trade laws should be leveraged to protect the dignity of work. To that end, on behalf of its clients, PKR works to apply trade remedy laws, including legal authorities that have become dormant, and develops creative legal approaches to assist domestic producers and workers against unfair trade practices. The Firm has several decades of collective experience representing clients before a wide range of federal agencies and courts, including the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. International Trade Commission, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the United States Trade Representative, the U.S. Court of International Trade, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The Firm has designed its summer associate program to train and provide experience for aspiring legal practitioners who wish to understand how trade laws can be used to affect change. As such, summer associates will obtain a comprehensive view of the Firm’s international trade practice involving a full range of substantive issues, including current client matters as well as the Firm’s pro bono practice.
The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated interest, through either coursework or workplace experience, in international trade, public policy, and/or litigation.
