This week was by far the quickest, which says a lot considering how quickly nine weeks came and went as summer associates at Bilzin Sumberg. On Tuesday, we closed our summer-long Mock Real Estate deal with signatures and ceviche. Even after the exercise I think we’ll always question whether the other side really did
Last night was the beginning of our last week of the summer program at Bilzin Sumberg. We attended our last departmental social event of the summer. This time, it was with the Land Development & Government Relations practice group. We were able to get a behind-the-scenes tour of the American Airlines Arena: Home
It’s hard to believe, but we’re already two thirds of the way through the summer program. Just as Marshall Pasternack predicted on our first day, the summer has flown by. As we get closer to the end, we have all begun to reflect on our assignments and contemplate which practice group we feel fits

This past week I selected an assignment from the Environmental department that required me to analyze the Code of Miami-Dade County and formulate an argument that our client complied with the criteria needed to obtain a specific type of permit. Finding no case law or secondary sources that interpreted the code section I was researching,
Tuesday morning, Kyle Morabito and I had our first “tag-along” of the summer. The tag-along is an integral part of Bilzin Sumberg’s Summer Associate Program and provides each summer associate with an intimate view of the practice of law, whether it’s a court proceeding with the litigation practice, or closing a deal with the corporate
During the summer, each practice group hosts a social event for the summer associates. The goal is to allow the summer associates to get to know each practice area’s attorneys in non-work settings. We also like to showcase Miami – adding a charitable component is icing on the cake!
