Entry Level Legal Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level legal associate job?

Entry level legal associate roles typically look for candidates with a relevant degree, strong research and writing skills, and at least some exposure to legal work through internships, clinics, or paralegal experience. Tailoring your resume to highlight coursework, writing samples, and any hands-on legal exposure gives you a real edge at this stage over candidates with generic applications.

Which companies hire entry level legal associates?

Companies hiring entry level legal associates right now include Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, Persona, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations that regularly bring on junior talent to support their legal teams.

Are there remote entry level legal associate jobs?

Yes, though most entry level roles still favor in-office or hybrid arrangements. About 50% of entry level legal associate openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates open to on-site work will find the widest range of opportunities, particularly at firms and organizations that prefer to train junior associates in person.

Are these new grad legal associate jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior legal associate roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or law school clinic work toward its requirements, or asks for a writing sample rather than a proven case history. Look for language like "entry level," "recent graduate," or "will train" in the job description.

Which industries hire the most entry level legal associates?

Entry Level legal associate roles concentrate in Education, Renewable Energy, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to drive junior hiring because they maintain large in-house legal functions or rely heavily on outside counsel that consistently brings on new associates to manage growing caseloads and compliance work.
