"I was immediately impressed by the commitment that Clark Wilson LLP showed to its students from the moment that I was hired. I was given the opportunity to attend education sessions and social events with the firm in the months leading up to commencement of my summer articles. This allowed me to develop relationships with both young associates and senior partners.

As I began my work as a summer student, I already felt that I was an important part of the future of the firm. I completed both my summer articles and formal articles at the firm and while there is no denying that at student's articling year is a difficult one, I can honestly say that I learned a great deal.

Clark Wilson LLP has two formal rotations - business and litigation - and in each rotation I was immersed in files that were both challenging and interesting. I was very impressed with the amount of responsibility that I was given as a student. While I was encouraged to take on responsibility and work independently, the lawyers were willing to give advice, direction and support.

I am confident that this is the ideal firm at which to begin my legal career. The firm truly has an open door policy, which is very beneficial for articling students and young associates beginning their legal careers. Articling at Clark Wilson LLP was a great experience. It was without reservation that I accepted the opportunity to join their Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Lending group when my articles were complete."
