FAQs

1. Does the firm encourage pro bono work? 
Baker Botts strongly encourages our lawyers to devote time to pro bono legal work. Time recorded by the lawyers on pro bono matters is valued on an equal basis with legal services provided to fee-paying clients.

2. Will I spend most of my summer doing research in the library?
No. As a summer associate, we want you to experience what it is like to be a lawyer within the office - both working with clients and getting to know our lawyers on a professional and personal level. To the extent possible, you will participate in client meetings, including closings and depositions. In addition, social activities are an important part of the summer program and another way you’ll get to know the people who may soon be your colleagues.

3. How many associates make partner each year?
The number of new partners varies from year to year. Decisions regarding partnership are made after careful review and evaluation of each individual being considered.
