The law firm of Williams Parker recently hosted a swearing-in ceremony for two attorneys admitted to the Florida Bar—Kyle D. Elliott and Diana L. Berlin—both of whom previously participated in the firm’s innovative summer associate program. Elliott joins as an associate with the firm’s real estate group, while Berlin is completing her LL.M. in Taxation at the University of Florida College of Law and will start with the firm in the summer of 2019 as an associate in the trusts and estates practice. Williams Parker’s summer associate program draws students from law schools across the country, offering an opportunity to engage in work indicative of associate life. It introduces law students to life in Sarasota as a Williams Parker attorney and provides them experiences and tools contributing to long-term success in their careers. About 40 percent of the firm’s current attorneys were hired after participation in the summer associate program.
