Articling Students

We take your articling experience very seriously, because we want our students to become the very best lawyers that they can possibly be.  It's both the right thing to do, and a self-interested activity; we intend to retain all of the students that we train, so our investment in your excellence is an investment in our own future.  Statistics: We've offered associate positions to every student we've had, and that's by design.  Every one has accepted.

You receive mandatory reading on day one:  True Professionalism and The Trusted Advisor by David Maister, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen, and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. In order, that's because you need to understand the "why" of what we do, then you need to know how to do it effectively, and how to keep a balanced, stoic perspective on the work.  Deriving joy from what we do is important.  There's much more to it that comes later, but that's day one.

Expectations: We aim to give you second chair at trial in your articling year, plus questionings, chambers appearances, and assignments formulating actual arguments and strategies.  We also give you the training so that you can do all that very well.  We take mentorship seriously - you get effectively unlimited access to the senior lawyers for all of your questions, training, and to discuss any part of your ongoing work.  We also help you develop a marketing plan suitable for your level, and we'll help you develop a skills and practice development plan to get you where you want to go in the future.  We pay for it all; you just need to want to go get it.

Interested?  Contact any of our current students or our recent calls, and tell them you want to know a bit more about Loberg Ector LLP.  Coffee's on us.
