It's now. Not later.
Jackson Walker Associates speaking about their experiences.
"Near the end of my first year, I handled a relatively small ($1 million+) asset acquisition. While a partner provided general oversight, the vast majority of the drafting, negotiation and client communication was left to me. Having ultimate responsibility for a deal allowed me to learn every aspect of the transaction, and made me better able to assist in future deals."

"As a first year associate, I assisted a multinational corporation to resolve a dispute with one of its foreign clients which involved creative drafting of indemnification agreements, coordinating with foreign attorneys, and communicating with top U.S. and foreign government officials through international diplomacy."

"Soon after I started at the firm, I presented a client's application for a writ of sequestration at an ex parte hearing. After the hearing, the Judge issued his order granting our client's application."

"During my third year at Jackson Walker, I had a major role in a significant trial including arguing evidentiary motions and conducting direct examinations of key witnesses."
- 3rd year Associate
"While 'second-chairing' a case that lasted two years, in which the plaintiff was seeking $50 million in damages, I was given an enormous amount of responsibility and participated in all aspects of the case from start to finish, including a significant role at trial. In the end, we were awarded significant attorneys' fees. It was a tremendous experience."

"During my second year of practice, I had the opportunity to 'second-chair' an arbitration proceeding. My role included witness preparation and conducting a direct examination of a key witness. It was not only an invaluable learning experience, but it was also really fun."

"I assisted in revisions and several drafting sessions of legislation for the Texas Business Organizations Code that governs state business entities. It was exciting to be involved in the process behind the drafting of a law that I now apply in my everyday practice."
- 2nd year Associate
"In my first few months at Jackson Walker, I went to trial. During the course of the litigation, I deposed numerous fact witnesses and the opposing party's expert witness. I had an active role at trial, conducting the direct examinations of two critical witnesses."
