About the Program
Founded in Boston, Mintz celebrates a tradition of excellence as one of the largest and most sophisticated full-service law firms in the country and has grown to include seven offices in the United States and Canada. Through the Project Analyst Program, Mintz offers recent college graduates the opportunity to engage in challenging and interesting work in its fast-paced environment.
The Project Analyst Program was founded in 1989 and in recent years has expanded to sixteen Analysts in four offices covering nearly a dozen practice areas. During their two-year tenure, Analysts gain practical experience and valuable exposure to law and business by working alongside Mintz’s attorneys and senior professionals. This program will run from July 2026 to July 2028.
At Mintz, Project Analysts can expect to develop and use a broad range of skills to meet the needs of the Firm and its clients. Project Analysts research factual issues, assist attorneys with legal analysis, review and analyze documents, organize data, draft reports, and organize and prepare case documents. Project Analysts also conduct financial analyses, track regulatory activity, and monitor industry trends. They interact directly with clients on projects, in some cases on a regular basis.
Pro Bono and Community Service
Project Analysts in all offices have the opportunity to work on political asylum pro bono cases, interacting directly with asylum clients and managing their cases, and occasionally draft petitions and briefs on other human rights issues. Additionally, Boston Analysts coordinate and participate in Mintz’s Domestic Violence Project, which brings attorneys and paraprofessionals together to assist victims of domestic violence. They are also instrumental in organizing and running Mintz’s annual United Way campaign and the TargetCancer Foundation Gala. In addition, some serve as weekly coaches for Citizen School’s 8th Grade Mock Trial team. Outside of pro bono legal work, Analysts participate in volunteer projects, work at community care days, and coordinate charity fundraising events.
