| “In May 2003 I accepted an offer to clerk with Turner Padget at their Charleston office. Looking back now as an associate, my decision to work with the firm has been the most fulfilling. In my opinion, Turner Padget has struck the right balance in terms of giving unparalleled support in personal matters as well as providing highly individualized attention and motivation to enable excellence in professional growth, achievements and peer respect.” -- Associate, Charleston, South Carolina |
Turner Padget recruits throughout the Southeast for law
students who graduate at the top of their class. Many of our
lawyers had the opportunity of clerking with the firm during
summer breaks and on a part time basis during the school
year. Our summer program provides the most common entry
point for a career with Turner Padget and has proven to be
an excellent program for both the firm and the law student.
