Mintz

Mintz holds top-tier rankings in Chambers USA for Healthcare, Life Sciences, Venture Capital & Emerging Companies, and Intellectual Property. The firm's healthcare practice advises hospitals, health systems, digital health companies, and life sciences companies on regulatory compliance, fraud and abuse, and transactional matters. Its venture capital and emerging companies group represents startups and VC funds on financing rounds, corporate governance, and exit transactions, with particular depth in the biotech and health-tech sectors. Mintz's IP practice spans patent prosecution and litigation in the life sciences and technology spaces, and its employment practice handles complex wage-and-hour and discrimination matters.

Mintz does not participate in traditional on-campus interviewing. Instead, the firm accepts direct applications beginning April 1 each year, with interviews and offers made on a rolling basis. Candidates interview through a series of one-on-one sessions with partners and associates, lasting 20 to 30 minutes each. The firm looks for curious, collaborative, and collegial students who share a genuine passion for the law. Interviewers emphasize the importance of learning about the firm's people and practice areas, making personal connections, and going beyond what is listed on a resume.

Mintz's concentration in tech, life sciences, and healthcare gives it a distinctive identity among mid-size firms, it competes effectively with much larger platforms in these sectors because of its deep industry knowledge and long-standing client relationships. The firm's Boston headquarters places it at the epicenter of the biotech and healthcare innovation ecosystem, and its San Diego and San Francisco offices extend that reach to the West Coast's life sciences and tech hubs. For students interested in healthcare law, biotech, or venture capital work in a firm with a genuinely supportive culture, Mintz offers a platform that punches well above its weight.
