"We strive to hire lawyers who have the potential to become partners. We seek those with integrity, intellect, enthusiasm and a demonstrated work ethic who have a willingness to take initiative, assume responsibility and work well with others."
LAW STUDENTS
HSE’s primary recruiting source is our summer program. Most of the students in our summer program are hired through law school on-campus interview programs, although interested students at other law schools are encouraged to write to our hiring director. The majority of our first-year associates are hired from the summer program, but opportunities exist for third-year law students as well. For a list of schools and job fairs where we will be conducting interviews, click here.
LATERAL ATTORNEYS
The firm’s lateral hiring varies based on the needs of our individual practice groups. For current opportunities click here.
DIVERSITY INITIATIVES
In addition to participating in minority job fairs, we have actively sought to promote diversity within the firm by establishing the Harter Secrest & Emery LLP Diversity Scholarship and by participating in the Monroe County Bar Association Minority Clerkship Program. For more information on both initiatives, click here.
Interested applicants should send a letter, resume and law school transcript to our hiring director:
