Simpson Thacher is proud to be a part of the recently launched New York City Legal Fellows Program. This new citywide initiative, announced by New York City Mayor Eric Adams on November 2, enables New York-based junior attorneys to spend a one-year appointment in the legal department of a city agency. While the attorneys will continue to be employed by and paid by their firms, they will otherwise be full-time city employees and fully integrated into agency legal departments. Simpson’s Thacher’s participation as one of the inaugural members of the Legal Fellows Program is in keeping with its historic tradition of public service at the local, state, federal and international level.
The Firm’s participation in this initiative was covered by publications including New York Law Journal, Law360, ABA Journal and Reuters.
