In early 2016 Gowlings joined forces with Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co (WLG), a leading U.K. law firm, to create a new international legal practice called Gowling WLG.
With more than 1,400 legal professionals in 19 cities across Canada, the U.K., Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Gowling WLG is a Global 100 legal practice. It is the first international legal combination to be co-led by a Canadian firm.
Gowling WLG provides clients with world-class legal expertise and multi-jurisdictional support in key global sectors, including life sciences, manufacturing, power generation and distribution, projects and infrastructure, real estate, resources (mining, oil & gas), and technology and communications. It is also home to one of the world's premier intellectual property practices, and a full suite of business law and litigation services.
The student program at Gowling WLG is fundamental to the culture and future of our firm. As a Gowling WLG student, you will conduct the research and preparation that forms the foundation of successful cases and transactions, and will also exercise your skills in advocacy and negotiation. You will work directly with our clients. If you are looking for accelerated professional growth through practical experience, and prefer an atmosphere that is professional and informal, you should consider Gowling WLG.
