Drinker Biddle Welcomes Class of 2014 Associates

We are pleased to welcome our newest colleagues today, September 29, 2014, as they begin their careers with Drinker Biddle & Reath. The arrival of the Class of 2014 also marks the continuation of our First Year Associate Development Program, a sign of the firm’s continuing commitment to excellence in training its lawyers and to the delivery of outstanding client service.

Our new colleagues are based in five of our offices and spread among eight of our practice groups. The firm is committed to providing the best opportunities for our young lawyers and to ensuring that we continue to be the kind of institution that attracted them here in the first place. Long before we or any of our colleagues came to this firm — indeed, long before any of us was born — the lawyers of this firm were proud of the institution to which they belonged. We still are. And we expect our newest colleagues will be too.
