Position Details

Articling Students:

We typically hire four articling students each year. Our compensation package is at the top end of the range for downtown Vancouver law firms - the salary that we offer for these positions is currently $45,000 per year.

The firm pays each student's tuition fee for the Professional Legal Training Course and the Law Society call and admission fees. We also offer benefits, including medical / dental benefits, extended medical plan and 10 days of paid vacation time during the regular articling period. The students’ salaries and benefits are paid during their attendance at the Bar Admission Course.

The application deadline for articling positions for 2010/2011 is June 30, 2009.

Summer Students:

If you are a second year law school student, working as a summer student is a great opportunity for you to get a head start on your career with our firm. You will experience a full rotation of work comparable to that of regular articling students, and you will have a strong opportunity to continue with your articling at Clark Wilson LLP in the following year.

We typically hire two second year law students per year to work at the firm from May to August. We pay our summer students a monthly salary competitive with other downtown Vancouver law firms - currently $3,750 per month. For those who accept offers to return as regular articling students the ensuing year, we pay the student’s third year tuition up to $5,000.

The application deadline for summer student positions in 2010 is September 15, 2009.

Clerking:

Clark Wilson LLP is open to hiring students who are considering clerking. We offer a flexible package with competitive salaries and benefits.
