Articling at BOYNECLARKE is truly a unique experience. Because of the depth of our practice areas BOYNECLARKE is able to offer our articled clerks real exposure to many areas of law. Rather than assigning our clerks to a six month rotation in litigation and a six month rotation in corporate law, our clerks are assigned to ten or so smaller rotations through our various practice groups. We try to make the individual rotations as interesting and diverse as possible. For example, in their Criminal Law rotation, our clerks are seconded to the Provincial or Federal Crown for a week to see how the “other side” does things.

We view the articling year as an essential part of a clerk’s legal education and it is extremely important to us that our clerks emerge from their articling year with the confidence and a full set of tools to start their careers as lawyers. We believe our unique rotation system allows the clerk an opportunity to truly examine and evaluate what area of the law they may want to pursue in practice.

We also like to think of BOYNECLARKE as a “great place to work”. Although we are serious about the business of law, we also know it is important to maintain a collegial atmosphere in the office and have the occasional (or weekly) beer with colleagues on a Friday afternoon. We encourage our students and articled clerks to become involved in all of our social and recreational opportunities (of which there are many!).
