Agreed! I am wondering if Vancouver firms will be raising student salaries any time soon. Hopefully they follow Toronto and the recent increases in pay!

Hey everyone, was wondering if someone would be willing to outline some of the major differences between working at national and regional firms in Van. Also, I have heard it is harder to get summer positions with some of the Van regional firms than some of the national firms with smaller offices? To what extent would you find this to be true?

Maybe in the wake of COVID and the announcement of online classes, students with higher GPAs and LSAT scores deferred a year so that they could start in-person classes if COVID died down the following year. Now those applicants are applying this year and as a result there is an oversaturated pool of applicants with high stats. Also, maybe more sitting around doing nothing all day = "maybe I should try law school and start writing the LSAT" IDK mere speculation

NALP has a decent breakdown. Generally though: 2nd Year Student: $1250/wk Articling: $65,000 1st Year: $105,000

Hey, was wondering if anyone could comment on what they thought were the most competitive Vancouver firms for recruit!

I was wondering what others would say are the best Vancouver firms for students who want to be a corporate lawyer, specifically those who want to work on the biggest and most complex transactional files in Van. Not from Van originally so any insight would be really appreciated!

yes, i switched it

When is the 2022 Toronto Articling Recruit and how competitive is it?

Just received Gowling

Hey Everyone, I have heard a few numbers thrown around over the past few days for in-firm interview offered to students. For example, I heard BLG is conducting around 100 in-firms this year and hiring 25, and Tory's is conducting 56 and hiring 15-20. Just wondering if anyone else has heard any numbers for other firms?

I received interviewers for Torys and Davies Anyone hear from BLG or Gowling?

I got a call from Harper Grey Also, Lawson Declined MLT

My roommate has not. He thinks he 100% got an in-firm (has gotten most firms he has applied to so far), so probably has not sent out ITC yet.

ITC: MLT and Lawson Lundell
