Here’s what some of our Iowa College of Law graduates had to say about how their Hawkeye experience prepared them for work at Lane & Waterman.

“The University of Iowa College of provided me the education, experience, and network that have formed the foundation of my professional career.  The professors and classes taught me fundamental law, but more importantly how to approach legal problems. My experiences outside the classroom, including writing for a journal, participating in moot court, and working at student legal services were invaluable. The people I met during law school started my professional network that is now nationwide for referrals, references, and mentors. Go Hawkeyes!” Ian Russell, ’05

“Iowa law strives to provide a collegial atmosphere for its students, which is somewhat unique in a setting that is often characterized by fierce competition and backbiting. I benefited tremendously from the positive culture Iowa law fosters and feel it contributed to my success in law school. Because of that experience, I actively sought out a firm that placed the same emphasis on collaboration, and I found that working environment I was looking for with Lane & Waterman. From my first moments with the firm, I have enjoyed mentorship from senior partners that enhanced my skills as a litigator and shaped my entire practice.” – Abbey Furlong, ‘10
