[ Selendy Gay Fellowship ]

As a firm, we continuously examine equity and inclusion efforts in our industry as well as our own infrastructure, recruiting, and training programs. We consider the host of challenges faced by groups who historically have been underrepresented in the legal profession.

Out of that examination, we've developed the Selendy Gay Fellowship that focuses on attracting, retaining, and nurturing outstanding candidates from a variety of different backgrounds.

About the Fellowship

Selendy Gay provides long-term, individually-tailored training, mentoring and post-recruitment support to help all our associates achieve their long-term potential. Fellowship recipients, like all of our associates, will have access to long-term professional and personal support, while giving them the agency to opt in and out based on their specific needs and goals.

Support is bespoke and includes (but is not limited to):

• Access to critical resources, such as dedicated time with partners
• Ongoing writing support from a professional coach
• Business networking coaching
• Training on how to effectively “manage up” and cultivate personal leadership skills
• Access to a suite of outside coaches

Fellows will also receive a $50,000 payment made in tranches.

Eligibility

The Fellowship is open to rising 2Ls who identify as members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in the legal profession.

Our 2025 Fellowship application is currently closed. We will provide updated information on the application next year.
