We hire our summer and articling students in accordance with the Vancouver Bar Association Student Recruitment Guidelines.
In September, we take part in most of the virtual on-campus interviews (OCIs). If your law school is hosting Vancouver firm OCIs, we will contact you according to the method preferred by your law school at the appropriate time. In some cases, this means that we will contact you directly to schedule an interview; however, in most cases, OCIs will be coordinated through your law school.
In mid-October, we host in-firm interviews in accordance with the Vancouver Bar Association Guidelines. For your in-firm interview, you'll be assigned a host lawyer – a junior associate - who will guide you through every step of the process.
Your first interview will be conducted by two practising BLG lawyers. This interview typically lasts 45 minutes. Afterward, you'll tour the firm with your host lawyer to get a feel for the office culture and chat with lawyers in practice areas of interest to you.
We provide unconscious bias training to everyone involved in recruitment.
We look forward to receiving and reviewing your application.
