| Description of articling program |
Our articling students begin their articling year in August, spending approximately half of their time in Business Law (including Real Estate) and the other half in Litigation (including Family, Employment and Insurance Defence). This ensures that our students receive a well-rounded, comprehensive articling experience.
We give our articling students significant responsibility on both business and litigation files. Articling students will conduct client interviews, attend at motions, examinations, Small Claims Court trials, and will participate in all aspects of corporate and real estate closings. Our associates and partners are always available to answer your questions. In addition, each articling student participates in our unique and exclusive Partner Intensive Program. For an intensive, one month period, each articling student is seconded to a Torkin Manes partner in a practice area of particular interest to the student, to have an unparalleled opportunity to see, from the best seat in the house, how that partner conducts their practice. Invariably, our students find that they obtain a new and fresh perspective of what it is like to conduct a legal practice, and how to build a legal practice. While we work hard at Torkin Manes, we recognize that there is more to life than work. We have firm-wide social events during the year which allow all of us to get to know each other better. There are special events just for students to relax together and recharge. |

When we interview law students, we look ahead. Not just to next summer, or next year’s articling intake, but further down the road. We think long-term, because our students are a long-term investment for us. We look for energetic team players who think on their feet, make the extra effort to achieve a goal, or have the creativity to suggest a different approach. We want you to become the best lawyer you can be. In fact, we want you to become our partner.
