A GREAT CAREER STARTS WITH TANGIBLE REWARDS

We believe that a well-rounded experience includes interaction with team members on an informal basis as well as on a professional one. We organize a number of social functions that will enable you to get better acquainted with members of the firm. In the past, student events have included casual dinners, a “night at the races”, cooking lessons at Cookworks, BBQs at our managing partner’s house and various other social functions. Those interested in participating in more athletic pursuits are invited to join the firm’s softball team or the many charity sports events in which we take part.

In addition, all of our departments take our students out to dinner during the course of the articling year. This is a great opportunity for you to unwind and learn more about your colleagues.
