Since 2006 Salehi & Associates has successfully been working with international students who are looking for internship opportunities to supplement their legal education. The firm has had the privilege of working with students from numerous countries including the U.S.A., Sweden, Greece and Germany. Many students have had the internship combined with their final thesis or earned school credits for their work, making it a part of their education. The internship offers a unique opportunity to practice and learn the fundamentals of the American legal system, while exploring the beauty of Los Angeles. The work at the internship ranges from regular office duties to client correspondence and helping American colleagues with the ongoing cases. Here are some quotes from past interns:
"My traineeship at the lawfirm Salehi & Associates provided me with a wonderful opportunity to join a dynamic team that shares similar goals of providing the firm’s clients with the highest levels of support, commitment and enthusiasm. I had a lot of independence which has helped me build my confidence, whilst always knowing that I could get the support and help of my superiors and colleagues when needed. I also improved my communication skills by dealing with a variety of people on different matters. At the end of every work day I would leave the office with a great sense of accomplishment and all the more knowledge of the American legal system. The traineeship was an interesting, challenging and rewarding experience that I will always remember."

“The internship at the law firm of Salehi & Associates was an extraordinary experience and affected my career in many ways.
By entrusting me with challenging and responsible tasks Mr. Salehi not only offered me the unique chance to get an insight into the US American legal system, he also gave me the feeling of being a fully integrated part of his law firm. Throughout the whole internship the mentoring of Mr. Salehi exceeded all my expectations. He not only showed me what it’s like to practice as a lawyer and to run his own law firm. He also taught me an impressive lesson on life, ambition and discipline. A lesson that I will always take advantage from in my further legal career.”

"I had the pleasure to spend ten weeks with Salehi & Associates to learn more about the American Legal System. The experience that I took with me back to Sweden has been invaluable and I am forever grateful to the firm for having me. With no doubt has this experience mirrored some of my future decisions in terms of work. During the internship I made friends for life and we shared many laughters along the way. When I look back at my time spent with the firm, I look back at it with a big smile. Inspirational, dedicated, hard working, committed are a few attributes that describes Salehi & Associates. I would highly recommend it to anyone."

"I was given the opportunity to do an internship at Salehi and Associates during the summer of 2007. It was a truly great and rewarding experience, where Mr. Salehi took a personal interest in my development despite having a busy schedule. Contrary to what may be the practice in other firms, at Salehi & Associates you are given the opportunity to early on participate and assist in real cases, ranging from small claims to major litigation cases. For example, I drafted documents for the courts, assisted in witness hearings and had direct client contact. The exposure to American law and its court system, combined with the opportunity to further develop my English, made the internship an invaluable experience. I would recommend anyone offered this opportunity to take it."
