Whether you want to spend your summer in a big city or a small community, looking over the Pacific Ocean or Parliament Hill, Gowlings has what you need to excel as a student and train as a lawyer.
Gowlings offers exceptional summer programs to students who have completed their second year of law school. For more than 100 years, Gowlings has been the place where great legal careers have started. We provide our summer program students with a well-rounded and practical work experience that gives them an advantage over their peers and a leg up in their education.
Students represent our single greatest source for future associates and partners, so we have a vested interest in giving our students a rich and rewarding learning experience and the foundation for a successful legal career. Our commitment to our students is evidenced by the fact that - with few exceptions - all of our summer program students tend to stay with Gowlings for their articling term.
One of the advantages of working for one of Canada’s largest and most diversified law firms is the opportunity to ‘test drive’ different practice areas. Gowlings offers summer students the chance to experience everything that a national full-service law firm has to offer. Our students launch their careers from a broader base of knowledge and skills because of the cross-training they experienced in our program.
Our goal is to help you develop the skills and discipline you will need to become a successful lawyer. Not only will you gain practical experience by doing work that matters, you will also work with and learn from a variety of professionals across a number of practice areas. Our student education and training programs include valuable ‘how to’ seminars on topics tailored to students’ needs, and our highly-constructive evaluation system provides regular and insightful feedback.
Gowlings is a leader. We are one of Canada’s largest, most recommended and prestigious national law firms with offices across Canada and in Moscow and London (UK). Many of our lawyers are recognized as the country’s best and our practice groups win award after award from national and international industry publications. At Gowlings, our students work with some of the most talented and renowned legal professionals in the world.
With offices in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, Waterloo Region, Calgary and Vancouver, Gowlings offers students an exciting and rewarding experience from almost anywhere in Canada. As a national law firm, we also tend to work with national and international clients, providing unique opportunities for our students to be exposed to national and multi-jurisdictional matters.
