Spring Receptions
To introduce the incoming summer associate class to the Cleary Gottlieb community, we organize a reception and dinner in February. The gathering provides an opportunity for summer associates to get a feel for the firm and to meet Cleary Gottlieb lawyers —as well as each other—before they join us in the summer. This event takes place in our offices, giving summer associates a preview of the scenic views they will enjoy while at Cleary Gottlieb. Travel expenses and hotel accommodations are paid for by the firm.
