You’ll undertake six-month rotations in both Litigation and Business Law, exploring a broad range of practice areas, meeting with and learning from many accomplished lawyers.

Comprehensive Training

Your articling experience begins with an in-depth orientation to BLG Calgary and all its resources. You’ll also attend weekly seminars on topics such as:

• common types of motions in Queen’s Bench chambers
• insolvency and corporate restructuring
• securities practice
• government relations
• litigation practice and procedures

BLG Calgary articling students are also invited to participate in Firm-wide training programs offered throughout the year to all our lawyers.

Open  Door Mentoring

You‘ll be assigned a principal and an associate mentor to support you throughout your articling experience. Your associate mentor will answer your questions, provide advice and guide you through professional events.

Hands-on Experience

BLG Calgary articling students tackle the same kind of work as our junior associates. While assisting lawyers on major matters, you will:

• attend hearings, questionings and mediations
• draft memoranda and contracts

You’ll also manage your own Small Claims Court matters—invaluable practical experience BLG is proud to offer.
