Current Openings

The summer associate program allows our summer associates the opportunity to work with our transaction attorneys in the areas of real estate acquisition, financing, land use and development, and/or corporate, joint venture, and structuring and with our litigation attorneys covering real estate, commercial, tax, and/or other complex civil litigation from commencement of action through arbitration, mediation, settlement, and/or trial or appellate work.

During the ten-week program, summer associates may be asked to draft, prepare, or modify legal documents; conduct legal research and analysis; and attend trials, hearings, depositions and conferences with our attorneys and clients to experience firsthand what the practice of law is like in Hawaii and in our office.

While we recognize that not every law student who clerks with us will receive and accept an offer of employment, we only hire summer associates whom we deem presumptively qualified for an associate position upon admission to the Hawaii State Bar.

We encourage second year law students to apply for our Summer Associate Program. To apply, please email your resume, cover letter, writing sample, and transcript to hr@chunkerr.com.

New associates are given an opportunity to work in all areas of our practice, and with all of the firm’s partners so that each can, as soon as possible, become well acquainted with our professional staff, our clients and the kinds of work we do. Our partners maintain an “open door” policy and associates are encouraged to seek guidance. A single partner is assigned to assist associates with balancing workload, assignments and other matters as the need may arise.

To apply please email your resume and cover letter to HR@chunkerr.com.
