Cohen Seglias Welcomes Its Largest Summer Associate Class To Date

Cohen Seglias is excited to welcome its 2026 Summer Associate Class, the largest to date, joining us from law schools across the country. Weston Copley, Anisha Cyrus, Maiya Groff, Daniel King, Marcelys Perez and Joshua Schulman are based in our Philadelphia office, while Hannah Cianciola is joining us in our Washington, DC office. Caitlin Roder will be based in our Newark office, and Aaron Zalesne and Joseph Zarif are joining the firm in New York.

The summer associate program plays a key role in our approach to recruiting and developing future attorneys. Each year, we welcome top-performing law students into our 12-week program, where they gain firsthand experience at a full-service law firm. Summer associates are introduced to a variety of legal practices and work closely with attorneys across the firm. They are paired with dedicated mentors who provide guidance and help manage their assignments throughout the program. The program offers practical, real-world training through substantive work on active client matters. Participants also participate in CLE sessions, networking lunches with attorneys, and firm-sponsored social events.
