We're looking for dedicated, well-rounded individuals who are enthusiastic about the practice of law, but who also maintain interests outside of school and work. At Gowlings we're all about the team, so we want people who recognize the value of teamwork, but who can also work independently when the occasion calls for it. |

The atmosphere at Gowlings is best described as professional and informal. More than a leading law firm, Gowlings is a community of professionals…a community in which every individual contributes and every idea counts. Gowlings people work together to achieve meaningful results for our clients. Beyond providing our students with professional growth opportunities, we also encourage them to develop social connections. We make time for friendships and organize numerous and various social activities for both our summer and our articling students. |
