About Day Pitney
Day Pitney dates its practice to 1902 and today has more than 300 attorneys in 13 offices across Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Providence, South Florida and Washington, D.C. Five of those offices are in Connecticut. The firm advises businesses ranging from emerging companies to Fortune 100 corporations on transactions, regulatory questions and litigation.
The firm says what sets it apart is that it counsels both corporate clients and private clients. Its private client department, which handles trusts and estates and related planning for individuals and families, is a large part of the firm, and Day Pitney describes those services as among the most extensive in the country.

More about Day Pitney
Each summer associate has designated partner and associate mentors, along with work assignment coordinators and program chairs, and gets formal and informal feedback throughout the summer. The firm says the small size of its program lets it customize each summer. Students apply through on-campus interviews at their law school, or through the firm's online portal if the firm does not recruit at their school, with a cover letter, resume, unofficial transcript and a two-to-three-page writing sample.
