Student Opportunities at McKenzie Lake
At McKenzie Lake, students are an integral part of our team and are valued members of the firm.
We believe in providing a student experience that will cultivate the skills and qualities necessary to develop future associates and partners at McKenzie Lake.
This is achieved by our commitment to providing a diverse summer and articling experience that exposes our students to a broad range of practice areas and direct access to some of the top professionals in Southwestern Ontario.
As integral members of the McKenzie Lake team, our students gain exposure to a variety of files, including:
- complex litigation;
- corporate/commercial transactions, and;
- mediations/arbitrations.
In addition to rewarding legal work, we believe in providing students with a well-rounded experience and, therefore, students will also have the opportunity to attend:
- continuing legal education seminars;
- charity events;
- client development socials, and;
- firm gatherings.
Summer Experience
McKenzie Lake hires two students to participate in the summer experience which runs from May through August.
The summer experience is designed to provide incoming students with exposure to all of the practice areas serviced by McKenzie Lake and, as a result, summer students will have the opportunity to explore their interests and develop their skills in a number of practice areas.
Articling Experience
McKenzie Lake hires three students to participate in the articling experience which generally runs from August through June.
The articling experience is structured into two litigation and one corporate/commercial rotations, which provides students with an experience aimed at developing the skill set necessary to become a lawyer at McKenzie Lake.
