Reno & Cavanaugh typically hires one or two law clerks each summer in the DC office, and occasionally hires a law clerk during the school year.  Law clerks work on practical transactional and research assignments, and learn generally about the housing and community development field.

Reno & Cavanaugh prefers law clerks to work full time for 10-12 weeks over the summer.  Compensation is comparable within the market. While Reno & Cavanaugh doesn’t have a softball team or outings on cruise boats, the firm does have a collegial atmosphere, a unique and interesting practice, and the occasional visit from a professional massage therapist. 

Ideal candidates will possess strong academic credentials, write and analyze well, and have an interest in real estate finance or affordable housing. Law clerks at Reno & Cavanaugh have opportunities for one-on-one work with experienced attorneys, document drafting, participation in client meetings and financial closings, and writing for posting and publication on affordable housing issues and concerns.
