Summer and Articling Students
We are committed to growing our Calgary office through our summer and articling programs. Our students work with some of Canada’s most respected lawyers across a variety of practice areas. Students are involved in all stages of our client work, for the opportunity to make a real contribution to our team. Summer and articling programs are designed to challenge students in a supportive environment where they can thrive. We strive to provide an open, supportive and professional learning environment where exceptional students can grow into exceptional lawyers.
With a focus on practical training, professional development and student feedback, our summer program is designed for students to pursue their areas of special interest, while gaining broad experience across our key practice areas: business law, energy, commercial litigation, regulatory, insolvency and restructuring, tax and commercial real estate. Summer students gain practical insights into current and emerging business law issues. Partnered with a senior lawyer who acts as a personal mentor, students are also exposed to the ins and outs of a lawyer’s daily practice.
Articling students explore our key practice areas including business law, energy, commercial litigation, regulatory, insolvency and restructuring, tax and commercial real estate, with the flexibility of pursuing an area of particular interest in more depth. Each student is assigned with a lawyer who acts as a personal mentor throughout the articling year and monitors workflow to ensure a varied and manageable workload. Students also participate in a comprehensive professional development program to build critical practice management skills.
Summer and articling students also attend a variety of social and cultural activities to informally network with peers and lawyers across the firm.
