Correction: When this story first ran we incorrectly identified details that were part of another firm’s deferral plan with Mintz Levin. We apologize for the error.
Mintz Levin had deferred incoming associates until 2012. According to Gina Addis, the firm’s Director of Public Relations, associates were not given a firm start date when offers were extended and were told at the time that it would be deferred. The firm recently notified them that they would be starting in January of 2012.
Contrary to our initial post, the firm has not made a decision regarding a stipend and no interim work requirement has been set.
Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, PC is a general practice firm with headquarters in Boston Massachusetts and offices in New York City, Washington, D.C., Stamford, Connecticut, Palo Alto, San Diego, and London. The firm has 500 attorneys.
