Local Attorney Mentors Students Through College Internship Program

The Law Office of Jeffrey K. Davis, Esq. has recently implemented an internship program for college students pursuing a law degree looking to get real life experience from a seasoned attorney. The firm, which is located in Hawthorne and opening a second location in Westchester this year, works with students one on one to teach them the legal process from start to finish in the areas of construction, litigation, liquor licensing and general business law. The students, from various local universities shadow the team at Jeffrey K. Davis and get a firsthand look at counsel in a variety of matters.

The program which was launched at the start of this year is just one of the many ways that this boutique law firm gives back to the community and separates itself from the competition. As founder and lead counsel, Davis utilizes his real world experiences gathered from working with both Fortune 500 companies and closely held businesses to offer a practical approach to legal solutions. The firm which caters to startups, emerging, and growing businesses in the tristate area, services a wide range of industries but specializes in construction and the food & hospitality sector. Voted as “Law Firm of the Year” in 2011 for growing businesses by Citibank, Davis and his team focus on not only grasping the legal issues that can potentially affect their clients business but also strive to be an invaluable resource in all aspects for each client even after their services are rendered. “We genuinely care about each client above and beyond their legal needs and make sure to follow up on their successes and struggles so we can identify opportunities and connections to further assist them. This personal approach is what we instill in our interns and what distinguishes our firm from the rest,” said Davis.

In addition to the internship program at his offices, Davis offers pro bono educational workshops throughout Westchester County on the topics of contract management and debt collection, forming a business in 10 steps, business partnerships and joint ventures, business protection and planning. Davis has led his informational workshops at companies such as Turner Construction and The Port Authority and will be working with the Westchester Business Council and SCORE Westchester to bring his expertise to their members.

The team at Jeffery K. Davis is excited to be able to offer a mentoring program that affords the opportunity to further give back to the Westchester community while introducing the legal world to the next generation of future attorneys. “We hope to continue various partnerships with local universities and government mentoring programs and to enhance our internships for the benefit of the young legal professionals of tomorrow.” For more information about internship opportunities or the services of Jeffrey K.
