Zumpano Patricios Clerkship and Internship Programs

Zumpano Patricios has a longstanding history of mentoring interns and clerks. The ZP Internship program and Clerkship program are tailored to aspiring legal professionals.

The Zumpano Patricios clerkship program is offered to 1L and 2L students who have excelled in their courses and have proven to be a force for good in their community. In the summer following their 1L year, clerks conduct legal research in various fields of law, craft detailed memos, present their findings to, and receive feedback from, ZP attorneys. Following their 2L year, clerks gain experience with drafting motions, proposed orders, settlement agreements, and dismissals, to be reviewed by ZP attorneys and filed with the courts.

Zumpano Patricios also offers an internship program to undergraduate students, giving them a glimpse into life at a law firm. Interns typically leave the program with a better understanding of the legal profession and a reinforced desire to attend law school.

Thank you to our attorneys who mentor these young professionals, and to the clerks and interns themselves, who provide the firm with assistance and novel ideas.

For more information regarding clerkships or internships, please contact Gerard Williams at gwilliams@zplaw.com.

Zumpano Patricios Sponsors 2026 CARD Gala

On April 18, 2026, Zumpano Patricios sponsored the annual University of Miami CARD Gala. The event was Co-Chaired by the firm's President, Joseph Zumpano, and Senior Income Partner Grace Escalona. Over 600 guests and nearly 100 sponsors attended an inspiring evening benefitting the University of Miami's Center for Autism & Related Disabilities (CARD).

The Gala honored Haley Moss with the Cruz-Whitehurst Advocacy Award. Haley was the first openly autistic attorney to join the Florida Bar. She began her legal career at Zumpano Patricios, and her journey with the firm from Law Clerk to Associate Attorney helped bring neurodiversity in the workforce to the forefront of national conversation and reflection.

The University of Miami CARD Gala had a record-breaking fundraising night. The funds raised will go directly to the South Florida autism community, supporting the University of Miami's CARD programs.
