Overview
Liberty Mutual believes strongly that commercial success can be achieved in a manner consistent with principles and ideals that bind us together as one company, that set us apart from our competitors, and that in the end will allow us to say we have succeeded commercially by doing the right thing the right way.

We believe that the Company’s success is inextricably linked to our employees’ satisfaction and success: satisfaction that they work for an industry leader committed to improving safety, satisfaction that they work for a company that does the right thing, and satisfaction that the company will reward them for their contributions and provide opportunities for personal growth and success.

We believe our employees take pride in knowing that they help people live safer more secure lives every day.

So, it’s time to get some experience.

It is officially that time of year — the bittersweet season where we return to school and resume our search for summer clerkships/internships (or, for some of us, post-graduate employment!).

Understandably, this is a stressful process. But Allies & Advocates is committed to helping where we can. As we become aware of LGBTQ-related job opportunities, we will be posting descriptions and details for 1Ls, 2Ls, and 3Ls under the “Careers” category of our blog. We will also keep students up-to-date on upcoming funding deadlines, including dates for the Nebraska Fund for Clerkships in the Public Interest (NFCPI) and Americorps funding. While we plan to update our Facebook page often, feel free to check back for new postings and updates. We wish you the best in your legal endeavors!
