“My articling experience at Blakes has been incredibly rewarding, marked by continuous learning and mentorship! From the outset, I was trusted with meaningful work and given the opportunity to contribute to files in a substantive way. Over the year, I saw the full life cycle of transactional files and took on more responsibility with each new file I was staffed on. I was also able to explore multiple practice areas to better understand my interests. The mentorship I received was outstanding. Even at the most senior level, lawyers were approachable, invested in my professional development and always happy to answer questions. Blakes values relationship building, whether among the articling cohort, across practice groups or with clients. The collaborative culture, hands-on approach and commitment to mentorship have provided me with a strong foundation. I'm proud to be a part of the Blakes team!"
