Founded by Orrick, Morgan Stanley and Microsoft, the Veterans’ Legal Career Fair has connected 800+ current and former U.S. military personnel from all six branches with our nation’s leading employers. For ten years, VLCF has been connecting great candidates with great job opportunities. It remains the only legal career fair in the United States for veterans, active-duty service members and military spouses.

Fortune 100 U.S. companies, American Lawyer 100 firms and U.S. federal agencies such as the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense all recruit at this event.

  • Employers come because we value military service.
  • We value the unique training, skills, insights, life experiences and proven leadership that military service develops.
  • We come to give back to those who have served our nation by providing merit-based career opportunities.

The fair also offers great career prep – guidance and coaching from the country’s military and business leaders to help veterans navigate the transition to civilian practice and to help employers in supporting their success.

Much more to come on our plans for 2026 – we hope to see you there.

“U.S. military vets bring skills and experience we deeply value in the private sector. They understand teamwork. They know how to innovate. They cut through complexity to focus on the mission. Hard work and being part of something larger than ourselves is in their DNA. This was true ten years ago when we launched the career fair – and it’s even more true today. We are humbled to be part of this community dedicated to serving those who have served our great nation.”– Mitch Zuklie, Orrick Chair
