Riker Danzig welcomes four summer associates

Riker Danzig LLP welcomed summer associates Meghna Gohil, Carla Ko, Maya Pacheco-Smith and Noah Wilk to the firm last week.

The firm’s summer associate program is designed with professional development as the primary goal, providing each summer associate with exposure to numerous Riker Danzig attorneys and practice areas while performing written work-product and pro bono assignments. The work assignments allow each summer associate to become a part of the team of attorneys working on a case or transaction. Each summer associate is assigned a partner mentor and an associate mentor.

At Seton Hall University School of Law, Ko is a presidential scholar and a Dorothy Day Scholar. Additionally, she is the secretary of the Family Law Society.

Maya Pacheco-Smith joins Riker Danzig’s summer associate program after being selected for the 2025 Riker/Crum & Forster Joint Diversity Summer Internship Program through the Rutgers Minority Student Program (MSP). Pacheco-Smith received her undergraduate degree, summa cum laude, in psychology from Hampton University in 2021.
