Sangra Moller LLP recognizes that our continued success rests on our ability to attract, train and retain the finest legal talent from law schools. We place a strong emphasis on recruiting articling and summer students with the highest level of intellect, character and motivation to become outstanding members of the legal community.
We believe our articling and summer students experience an unparalleled level of exposure to our practice areas and enjoy a high level amount of client and partner interaction.
Our students have the opportunity to become fully engaged in challenging work at a firm that is recognized as a leader in business law. Students are encouraged to concentrate on areas in which their interests are engaged.
Articling Program
Our articling program does not follow the rotational model utilized by most large firms. Instead, our articling program offers students an unparalleled opportunity to gain a higher level of experience in our focus areas, which are corporate finance, securities, mergers and acquisitions, strategic investments, takeovers and takeover defence, corporate and commercial, natural resources and commercial real estate. While Sangra Moller does not conduct a litigation practice, as the firm's clients become involved in litigious matters from time to time, we are able to provide students with some exposure in this area. However, students interested in pursuing a career in litigation would be better served articling at a firm that is more active in this area.
Compensation - We offer our students and associates the highest level of compensation in the Vancouver market. We currently offer our articling students an annual salary of $85,000 (2023). Articling students receive a comprehensive benefit program including medical and dental benefits. Students are entitled to two weeks paid vacation during the course of their articling term. In addition, we pay the Law Society of British Columbia admission fees for our students and pay their salary during the Professional Legal Training Course.
Summer Program
Sangra Moller LLP's second year summer program is an excellent opportunity for students who have completed their second year of law school to gain practical experience and build a career at a firm that is a recognized leader in securities and corporate/commercial law.
