Visiting Lawyers Program (September 2026 - May 2027)

The Visiting Lawyers Program runs from September through May. In order to ensure consideration for the program, applications should be submitted by September in the year prior to the year in which the applicant wishes to join the program. Applications are considered on a rolling basis and should include a resume, a transcript from the home-country law school and, if applicable, a transcript from any U.S. law school attended. Applications should also include a statement of the candidate’s intentions following completion of the program, such as return to a specific home country firm, further academic work or practice of law in the

United States.

Applications are carefully considered, and a small number of candidates are invited to interview with us, either virtually or in person. S&C will reimburse the travel costs of applicants coming from law schools within the United States. The current employers of applicants traveling from overseas are expected to bear the costs of travel to New York.

Because the program is very small – which we think is critical to enable the best possible experience – and we seek to hire lawyers from a broad range of countries represented over time, unfortunately we must turn down many highly qualified candidates of exceptional merit.
