We’re looking for dedicated, well-rounded individuals who are passionate about the practice of law, but who also maintain interests outside of school and work. At Willis Business Law we’re all about the team, so we want people who recognize the value of teamwork, but who can also work independently when the occasion calls for it.
No. Willis Business Law recruits from all law schools across Canada and elsewhere and considers each application equally.
You will find the atmosphere at Willis Business Law is best described as professional, collaborative, and engaging. We are a community of professionals, and a firm where every individual contributes and every idea counts. Our team members work together to achieve meaningful results for our clients. Beyond providing our students with professional growth opportunities, we also encourage them to develop social connections. We make time for friendships and organize various social activities for both our summer and our articling students.
The number of students that we hire for summer and articling programs varies from year to year. While we do not guarantee articling positions to our summer students, we hire our summer students on the expectation they will continue their position throughout the articling process.
Willis Business Law’s summer programs are generally limited to students who have completed their second year of law school. However, on an exceptional basis we may consider additional candidates and accept applications, in the event positions become available.
Our commitment to our students includes a competitive salary based on the local market rate for summer and articling students.
We do not have targeted billable hours for students. While you can expect to work hard, our focus is on the quality of your efforts and ensuring that you are receiving the best educational experience possible, not the number of assignments nor the length of time you take to complete them.
