2026 Summer Associate Program

Over the past six weeks, we had the pleasure of working with James Logan, Shrey Bhakta, Marc Jiang, Lina Leonhard, and Duke Jarvis through our 2026 Summer Associate Program.

During their time at Pirkey Barber, they gained hands-on experience across trademark, copyright, unfair competition, and brand protection matters. They contributed directly to client work, collaborated with attorneys throughout the firm, and gained practical insight into the day-to-day practice of intellectual property law.

Of course, it wasn’t all work. From Electric Shuffle and Topgolf to a Central Market cooking class, Activate Games, virtual herb gardening, and even a spa day, we made time to connect and have some fun along the way.

A sincere thank you to everyone at Pirkey Barber who invested their time and mentorship in this year’s program. We’re proud of everything these associates accomplished in just six weeks and wish them continued success!
