Over the course of the summer program at Bilzin Sumberg, there have been some incredible opportunities to learn, grow, and build relationships. Though there are countless things that I could express my appreciation for, I want to take this opportunity to discuss how wonderful it has been to be a part of this incredible
Summer in the Magic City
Bilzin Sumberg Cares: 15 Years and Counting
Bilzin Sumberg is “Proud to be Judged by the Company We Keep.”
Over the summer, I had the opportunity to see how that phrase is implemented at the firm on a daily basis. Every attorney I’ve spoken to this summer has reflected on a pro bono matter they worked on while simultaneously handling other complex…
Mentoring in Miami
Upon our arrival at Bilzin Sumberg we were informed that we all got mentors for the summer. The mentors are attorneys that are paired with each summer associate to help guide us throughout the summer with regard to assignments, networking, and everything in between.
Personally, I did not know how amazing building a relationship with…
Chopped: Bilzin Sumberg Style

Often, we think something is easy, until it is time to put our money where our mouth is. For me, cooking is a skill that I (thought) I had, so imagine my surprise when the Corporate Practice Group hosted a Mystery Basket Cook Off for the Summer Associates, where we were given random ingredients…
Matters of the Heart: Pro Bono at Bilzin Sumberg
The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct has a preamble that describes a lawyer as “an officer of the legal system and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice.” Though I’ve only been working at Bilzin Sumberg for six weeks now as a summer associate, I can confidently say…
The Fourth in Miami!

Having lived in the nation’s capital for the past two years, I’ve grown used to a huge Fourth of July celebration. This year was the first major Fourth of July celebration in Miami since the start of the pandemic and my first Fourth of July in Miami ever. I’m sure it does not come as…
A Tour with Dr. George

Last week, the land-use group had their summer event, a boat tour of Biscayne Bay and Stiltsville with History Miami’s resident historian, Dr. Paul George. We all met up at the marina at Bayside, hopped on a boat, and off we went. As soon as we pulled out of the marina, Dr. George began…
Bilzin Takes The Florida Keys

Things are starting to heat up… and I don’t just mean the weather. The Summer Program here at Bilzin Sumberg is in full swing! This past weekend, the Summer Associates were invited to Mitch Widom’s house in The Keys for a party with the firm’s Litigation Practice Group, and there couldn’t have been…
For the Culture
The most impressive thing about 1450 Brickell isn’t the lavish furniture, the assortment of food within walking distance, or its proximity to the water- it’s the culture. When I was applying to law firms for this summer, I received a lot of advice from classmates, alum, and especially career services, about what makes a firm…
Cooking & Connecting: Reflections on Our Third Week

Last Thursday evening, Bilzin Sumberg’s 2022 Summer Associates donned aprons and took part in an interactive cooking demonstration at Two Chefs. With the help of the restaurant’s cooks, we each prepared a dish for our group’s dinner. The menu featured…
