| Description of articling program |
Our articling program is designed to provide students with the tools they need to enhance their skills. Workshops on a variety of legal issues and areas of specialization are designed to reflect real-life situations and provide practical plans of action in approaching legal problems and practice management. As well, our four general practice rotations expose articling students to each of our main areas of practice, including:
•Business Law (corporate/commercial, tax, wills and estates) •Securities Law •Litigation and Dispute Resolution •Commercial Real Estate, and Banking and Financial Services Our students are encouraged to become actively involved in all aspects related to our clients’ matters. By virtue of our size and hands-on approach in dealing with our clients’ legal and business issues, our students are exposed to all elements of complex matters, transactions and cases. During your articles, you will interact directly with our clients and lawyers in the resolution of client matters - a level of exposure unique to our firm. By working hand-in-hand with associates and partners, articling students gain an appreciation of day-to-day life at the firm and are exposed to a variety of practices. Each student is assigned a mentor as an additional dedicated resource whose role is to facilitate their professional training, skills development and assist with the integration into the firm. We also host a variety of social events to give you the opportunity to get to know us outside of the office. Past events have included weekly breakfasts, informal evening socials, our annual Summer Event, December Holiday Party, volleyball tournaments and other student and associate specific activities. As one of our students, you will be welcomed and encouraged to participate in all of the firm's social programs to enhance your experience. It is anticipated that students will complete the Barrister and Solicitor Exams required by the LSO prior to commencing their articles with us in early August. |
