Emily Olsen, Maribeth Beyer, Shelby Sumlin, Brandon Posivak

Pepperdine Caruso Law is pleased to congratulate Emily Olsen, Maribeth Beyer, Shelby Sumlin, and Brandon Posivak for post-graduation employment success!

Emily Olsen will be an associate with Sullivan & Cromwell in Century City. Emily applied for and accepted the position after Alexis Joyce, director of the Caruso Law Career Development Office, made the connection for her.

Maribeth Beyer spent this past summer as a summer associate with Sullivan & Cromwell, and accepted an offer to return as a litigation associate following her clerkship in 2024.  Maribeth applied to clerk for Judge Jay Bybee during her summer at Sullivan &Cromwell.  She is grateful to the many Caruso Law professors and alumni who helped her make the connection and prepare her for the opportunity.

Shelby Sumlin will be a first-year associate at McGuireWoods LLP in their Mergers & Acquisitions group. She accepted the position following her summer associateship with the firm, and will practice in their Houston office.

Brandon Posivak will be a commercial litigation associate with Cozen O'Connor, LLP, which is in the top 100 firms in the country. He was a summer associate this past summer in both the Los Angeles and Santa Monica offices where he completed 35 projections in eight weeks, in six different practice areas, with 17 different attorneys. Brandon originally received an interview with Cozen O'Connor from the early interview week with Caruso Law in the summer between his 1L and 2L years. He accepted the offer for the summer associate position in September 2021 and accepted his full-time associate position in August 2022. 

Congratulations to Emily, Maribeth, Shelby, and Brandon on their well-deserved positions.
