2026 1L Summer Associate
Hall Render Killian Heath & Lyman is a national law firm focused on matters specific to health care organizations. Hall Render is accepting applications for 1L Summer Associates for the Indianapolis, IN, and Troy, MI offices.
Candidates should have: outstanding academic credentials, including a minimum GPA of 3.0; a dedicated interest in health law; maturity; and motivation to succeed. Full-time rising 1L students, as well as dual degree and part-time law students graduating in 2028 or later, will be considered.
Law students are given Summer Associate offers by firm location. However, Summer Associates will have the opportunity to work with attorneys in each office and across all five practice groups: Health Economics, Health Human Resources, Health Operations, Health Regulatory and Health Transactions. Summer Associates work independently and collaboratively with attorneys throughout the Firm’s offices and receive real client experience and projects throughout the summer. Because Summer Associates are not assigned to any one practice group or group of attorneys in the firm, Summer Associates have the opportunity to solicit and receive work across many different specialty areas within health law and in which the Firm’s attorneys practice. Our Summer Associates routinely help attorneys and clients in the health care industry in areas including but not limited to: business transactions, joint ventures, health care regulatory issues, operational matters, litigation, health information systems, compliance, licensing, tax, antitrust, managed care, reimbursement, medical staff relations, tax-exempt matters, patient care, HIPAA, supply chain negotiations, real estate and construction, labor and employment issues and more.
Applications will be accepted and considered on a rolling basis from Saturday, November 1, 2025, until 11:59 PM ET on Friday, January 9, 2026, or until positions are filled. To apply, submit a resume, cover letter addressed to Laura Dettinger, Director of Recruiting, and an unofficial copy of your undergraduate transcript. Please submit a copy of your unofficial law school transcript once all Fall 2025 grades have been released.
