A meaningful legal career is built on more than classroom learning—and our Summer Associates are experiencing that firsthand.

Last week in Cleveland, our Summers joined peers from across the region at the inaugural Summer Associate Leadership Summit hosted by the Cleveland Leadership Center, gaining practical career insights from accomplished legal and business leaders while expanding their professional networks. Then on June 2, they gathered for a Progressive Dinner hosted by Gene Killeen and Kristin Volk, an evening that combined great conversation, local flavor, and the opportunity to strengthen relationships with colleagues outside the office.

Meanwhile, in St. Louis, our summer associate attended ACC St. Louis’s “It’s a Jungle Out There: Surviving and Thriving in the Law” program, where legal professionals explored the challenges of burnout and discussed approaches to fostering healthier, more sustainable careers in the profession.

Whether through leadership development, candid conversations with experienced practitioners, or opportunities to build lasting connections, these experiences reflect our commitment to helping future lawyers gain a broader perspective on what it means to succeed—and thrive—in the practice of law.

Tucker Ellis was pleased to co-sponsor ACC St. Louis’s program, “It’s a Jungle Out There: Surviving and Thriving in the Law,” this week at the St. Louis Zoo’s McDonnell Center at River Camp.

The program brought together in-house counsel and legal professionals for a thoughtful discussion—co-led by TE partner Sandy Wunderlich and Jennifer Robinson, Associate General Counsel at Centene—on lawyer well-being, burnout, and the practical steps organizations can take to support healthy, sustainable legal careers. Following the CLE, attendees had the opportunity to continue the conversation while enjoying the unique setting of the St. Louis Zoo.

Thank you to ACC St. Louis and everyone who joined us for an engaging afternoon of learning, connection, and community.
