The articling experience at Clark Wilson LLP begins with three full days of orientation, which provides you with the basic tools to "get around" at our firm - everything from phones, systems, procedures and forms to introductions to the library and office services staff. Our computer systems rival the best of any law firm, and you will receive full instruction on how to benefit from the various applications available to you. 

Over the following days, as you begin working in the first phase of your rotation, there will continue to be presentations and training sessions. A lawyer from each practice area will provide you with an overview of his or her practice, and ongoing training sessions will help you with the day-to-day procedures and policies specific to different areas of law.

You will also be invited to participate in our firm’s broader training program available to all lawyers, consisting of weekly morning seminars and monthly training luncheons, covering practical issues relevant to a successful law practice. Typical sessions cover items ranging from client service "best practices" and marketing techniques to time management skills. In addition, many of our practice groups hold area-specific lunch-and-learn sessions on emerging and topical issues related to their practice area.
