Bulkley Richardson Welcomes Three Summer Associates

SPRINGFIELD — Bulkley Richardson recently welcomed three law students to its 2025 Summer Associate Program. The robust program introduces law students to the inner workings of a law firm, where they receive mentorship from lawyers ranging from firm leaders and retired judges all the way through the ranks to junior associates, and gain exposure to real-life legal matters.

Sylvia Labbe is currently attending Suffolk University Law School as a trustee academic scholar, where she serves as a senior staffer on the Transnational Law Review, as well as executive board member of the Labor & Employment Assoc. (treasurer) and Intellectual Property Law Assoc. (treasurer). She was a 2024 summer associate at a Boston-area law firm. This past winter, she was honored with the title of Best Oral Advocate at the Transnational Law Review Moot Court. Labbe earned a bachelor’s degree in legal studies and political science from UMass Amherst.

Gabriela Peterson, currently attending Vermont Law & Graduate School, is Head Notes Editor of the Vermont Law Review and a member of the Williams Institute moot court team on gender and sexuality law. She has held the positions of legal intern at an independent news organization and 2024 summer associate at a law firm, both in Washington, D.C. Peterson earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and political science from Monmouth College, where she received several honors for academic excellence.

Devan Ravino, currently attending the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law, is a Daniel Webster scholar and member of the Moot Court, Trademarks Team, and Women’s Student Law Assoc. She interned at the Civil Bureau of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. Ravino majored in art history and economics, magna cum laude, at Mount Holyoke College.

“Bulkley Richardson’s Summer Associate Program has introduced the firm to stellar associate candidates over recent years, and this year’s class is no exception,” said Mike Roundy, chair of the firm’s hiring committee. “We have three exceptional law students who have already demonstrated their passion for the law, and we look forward to contributing to their legal careers as they take shape.”
