Meet Our Summer Associates
In the legal profession, summer associate positions provide law students with hands-on experience working for a law firm in the summer after their first or second year of law school. These positions are opportunities to experience life as an attorney firsthand, allowing students to embed themselves in a firm to do much of the same work they will likely do as a full-time associate post-graduation.
Meet our 2023 summer associates, Aisha Moe Lindvall and Morgan Knight.

Aisha Moe Lindvall attends the University of Wisconsin Law School in Madison. This summer, Aisha confirmed her calling in Family Law. She has enjoyed meeting the clients and supporting the talented attorneys at the firm.

Morgan Knight attends the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Law School in Champaign. She has enjoyed the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in her practice areas of interest: family law, employment law, and estate planning.
