Success Stories
Deborah F. Amponsah ’22
Associate Attorney
Martin Clearwater & Bell LLP
White Plains, New York
“The Buffalo legal community is very small in the grand scheme of things,” Amponsah said. “There’s more camaraderie, and everyone’s more collegial there. In New York, you never know who you’re going to meet or who you’re going to be interacting with. It’s a little tougher in practice, but if you can litigate in New York, you can litigate anywhere.”
Ashley Asanjarani ’24
Norton, Rose, Fulbright US LLP
New York City
“The NYC Program has helped me so much. Not only has it connected me to renowned alumni that hold important positions within the City, but it also helped me prosper as a Summer Associate at Norton Rose Fulbright. I have grown my network and knowledge within business and the law tremendously, and I would complete another semester in NYC if I could.”
Jaynie Doe ’21
Associate, Kirkland & Ellis, LLP
Dallas, Texas
“The NYC Program was a great primer as I prepared to start my career as a full-time associate in Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. In the beginning, I had little to no insight into finance and business law practices, but through the Program, both my knowledge and my professional network in the NYC area grew significantly. Thanks to the Program, I was well equipped to hit the ground running when I began to practice."
