As we prepare to say farewell to our 2024 Summer Associates, we wanted to highlight some of the incredible work and experiences we had this summer. The Summer Associates had the opportunity to visit the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, the Court of Appeals of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico, and participated in a mock trial at the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico in collaboration with other firms. They assisted in trials, hearings, depositions, commercial closings, legal research, drafting, and reviewing, and met some of our clients. We also shared multiple lunches and dinners in collaboration with our Departments where they learned firsthand the work we do at the Firm. It’s been a busy yet fulfilling summer. Thank you to all our collaborators! #2024SummerAssociates  

Our Summer Associates Program is well underway! So far, the Summer Associates have been working hard and have benefited from multiple seminars, where they learned firsthand from our attorneys and also visited the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico. This week marks the halfway point of the program, and we made our way to the Palacio Provincial Hotel in Old San Juan to celebrate and socialize.  #2024SummerAssociates 

Our first couple of weeks of our 2024 Summer Associates Program have been off to a great start! This week we took the opportunity to celebrate our traditional O&B’s Welcome Cocktail Reception where our summer associates had the opportunity to fraternize with O&B’s staff and lawyers and learn more about life at the firm. #2024SummerAssociates
