Cummins Inc. / Baker & Daniels
Joint Summer Associate Program

Cummins Inc., a Fortune 500, global manufacturing company headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, and the law firm of Baker & Daniels, one of Cummins’ significant providers of outside legal services, are offering a unique summer associate program to enhance Cummins’ and Baker & Daniels’ joint commitment to diversity. The summer associate’s experience will include all aspects of Baker & Daniels’ regular summer associate program with the added dimension of working primarily on Cummins’ matters. This aspect of the program will provide the summer associate the opportunity to work closely with Cummins’ representatives and with the B&D Client Service Team that represents Cummins. Assignments will provide the law student with an opportunity to perform research, draft documents / pleadings, and collaborate on legal strategy, as well as participate in meetings with Cummins’ representatives. The joint program is intended to attract a top diverse candidate to spend the summer getting to know Cummins’ business and the work Baker & Daniels performs for Cummins and for other clients. The opportunity for employment after law school is limited to Baker & Daniels, as Cummins does not employ attorneys directly after graduation from law school.
