NM Summer Associate Experience
Thinking Outside the Box
Winston-Salem associate Chelsea Barnes says that she learned how to think outside the box and work as part of the Nelson Mullins team during her time as a summer associate. “I knew the folks that I would be working with, and I felt like I hit the ground running as part of a team,” she says.
Bringing Yourself to the Table
Shaniqua Singleton, an associate in the Atlanta office, got to work on a range of substantive legal assignments in her time as a summer associate. Through that work, she learned that Nelson Mullins was a good fit for its flexibility in assignments and diversity of personalities.
