Our Salt Lake City office continues to undergo tremendous growth.
With fewer than 15 attorneys five years ago, the office now numbers over 50 lawyers. The office
capitalizes on its size, lending it a small firm feel with the reach of a large firm.
Practice Areas
The Salt Lake City office has the following primary practice areas: Corporate Securities
& Finance; Trial; Wealth Management; Utilities; Bankruptcy; Employee Benefits; Labor
Employment; Natural Resources; Environmental Law; Intellectual Property; Real Estate; and Tax.
Pro-Bono/Community Service
Attorneys are encouraged to participate in pro bono activities of their choice serving the legal
needs of the poor. Pro bono hours are credited toward investment hour goals.
For more specific information about pro bono work and community service at Stoel Rives, please see the Our Communities page.

Professional Development
The professional development of our associates is a critical measure of our
success. All associates are assigned a coach upon arrival to the firm. Coaches
help new associates get to know the culture of the firm, and they provide professional
guidance to assist associates in shaping their careers.
Diversity
Stoel Rives is committed to an inclusive environment where all personnel are
recognized for their contributions based on merit and encouraged to reach
their fullest potential. The Salt Lake City office participates in the local
Minority Job Fair each year.

Summer Program
Summer Associate Mentoring/Training
We recognize that our summer associates deserve careful, constructive feedback
on the quality of their work. Therefore, in addition to the feedback that our
attorneys provide in connection with the summer associates’ work projects,
each summer associate is matched with two summer mentors; a member and a junior-
or mid-level associate. These summer mentors help their summer associates
understand the nuances and challenges of our practice
and firm, offer advice on how to take advantage of the resources and opportunities
our firm has to offer, and provide feedback throughout the summer.
Summer Associate Work Projects
Attorneys from all of the firm’s practice groups are encouraged to submit
projects for summer associates. Summer associates are encouraged to accept
projects that will allow them to work in different areas of the law.
Summer associates are given the opportunity to attend trials,
depositions, hearings, closings and contract negotiations in which our
attorneys are involved. Stoel Rives also provides summer associates with
legal research, writing and editing seminars.
Summer Associate Social Activities
A wide range of social events are coordinated by the firm to provide opportunities
for summer associates to get to know Salt Lake City, our lawyers, and to have the
opportunity to make friends within the program. Planned activities for the Salt
Lake City office have included golf tournaments, dinner parties, theatrical
presentations, and a two-day, firmwide, summer associate training and social retreat in Portland.
Summer Associate Offers of Employment
The majority of Stoel Rives’ summer associates are given offers to return to the
firm for employment after graduation. These offers are typically made at the end of the
summer. The Recruiting Committee works with the summer associate to determine the practice
group in which he or she would like to work as an associate and to try to match the summer
associate’s preference with the needs of the firm’s practice groups.
