About the role
Foley & Lardner LLP and Mayo Clinic, two leaders in the health care industry, have partnered to create the Mayo-Foley Health Law Fellowship for current first-year law students interested in a career in health care law.
The fellowship combines two outstanding summer internships followed by an opportunity to become a new health care associate at Foley. Following the first year of law school, the Mayo-Foley Fellow will spend 10-12 weeks beginning in May/June of 2026 at Mayo Clinic. The Mayo Clinic portion of this position is 100% remote; can work from anywhere in the U.S. However, this position may be given the optional opportunity to travel to Rochester, MN.
If the Mayo-Foley Fellow performs well during the first summer at Mayo Clinic, the Fellow will join Foley’s Summer Associate Program as a 2L summer associate, for 10 weeks beginning in May/June of 2027, in Foley’s Boston office. Following successful completion of the 2027 Summer Associate Program, the Mayo-Foley Fellow will join Foley as a new associate in the fall after law school graduation.
In support of transparency and equity in the workplace, Foley provides salary ranges for all positions. The expected salary for Foley’s Associate Program position is $225,000/year, pro-rated based on the duration of employment.
Eligible applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and completed one year an ABA-accredited law school. Continued enrollment in a JD program, with an emphasis on health care, must be shown. Preference will be given to students with health care backgrounds (either career, education, or both).
