“As our hiring practices—whether for summer associates or other legal and professional staff—follow client needs and immigration policy changes around the world, we do not make blanket offers each year at the end of our summer associate program,” said Salvador Malo, chief people officer at Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy.

Immigration law firm Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy is waiting until early 2024 to make a decision on whether to extend job offers to its current summer associates.
Fragomen chief people officer Salvador Malo confirmed the deferred hiring decision in an email to Law.com.
“As our hiring practices—whether for summer associates or other legal and professional staff—follow client needs and immigration policy changes around the world, we do not make blanket offers each year at the end of our summer associate program,” Malo said. “We extended offers in 2022 and have informed the current class that we will be making decisions in early 2024 when client needs can be assessed more accurately.”
Fragomen did not reply to a Law.com question about whether the firm extended offers at the end of the summer in previous years.
Law.com noted that Fragomen had “significant growth” last year— with a 20.2% expansion in head count. Fragomen had 76 summer associates last year—the most ever for the firm.
