“I feel very fortunate to have summered and articled at BLG. From the beginning, the firm’s collaborative environment and strong commitment to mentorship stood out to me – lawyers across all seniority levels and practice areas were consistently willing to take time out of their days to share insights, provide thoughtful feedback and foster an open-door atmosphere. As time passed, I was welcomed onto complex transactions and given increased responsibility, which allowed me to truly develop my legal knowledge and professional skill set. I appreciate that I was able to contribute meaningfully while still being supported every step of the way.”

"As an out-of-province student, I felt immediately welcomed at BLG Vancouver. The student program is well-structured, providing you with plenty of support while also allowing you the flexibility to build your own experience. From the very outset of my summer term, I was given the opportunity to work on challenging assignments for highly accomplished lawyers who showed a sincere interest in my professional development. The transition into articling was seamless as I began to take on more responsibility and develop a solid foundation for my early career. I am immensely grateful for the invaluable mentorship, formal and informal, that I received throughout my time as a student and continue to receive now as a junior associate."

“I was initially drawn to BLG because of the collegial environment I noticed from my first interview. My experience as a summer student helped confirm this. Everyone I have interacted with at BLG is approachable, willing to answer questions and has helped me feel like I’m part of the team.”

“I joined BLG as an articling student in 2009. My articling experience was incredibly positive. I received broad exposure to all the practice groups through a formal rotation. I was involved in a wide array of interesting and challenging transactions from start to finish and established a strong foundation for my legal skills. I also formed relationships with mentors, whom I keep in touch with to this day.”

“I really enjoyed my articling experience. I was exposed to a wide variety of cases and had the opportunity to make meaningful contributions. The training and mentoring programs were well structured and helped me acquire the skills and knowledge I would need as a lawyer. I stayed at BLG because of the people I met, the connections I made, and because it’s a great place to develop a career.”
