“From day one of my summer, I knew I found the place I belonged. I thrive in a workplace where I’m expected to work hard and where I’m rewarded with trust, respect, and integration into the team.

I have also thoroughly enjoyed working on a great range of topics: from the Mexican land title system to Québec property law; from parenting time to US bankruptcy law; and from trustee decision-making to insurance exclusion clauses. Not a day went by when I wasn’t pushed beyond my comfort zone. But Clark Wilson supported me every step of the way and I can’t wait to come back for articles.”
