I have had an excellent experience articling at Clark Wilson so far. I have had the opportunity to draft various documents, write about complex legal issues, and attend client meetings. Not only have I been able learn important practical skills, I have also been able to learn from lawyers and staff who take care in providing meaningful mentorship. My articling experience has been well-rounded, and I often do work in several areas of law within a day. Overall, I feel like I have been given the opportunity at Clark Wilson to explore my interests and develop my legal skills in an environment where I can flourish.
