In Their Words

“As someone who has worked in many corporate environments before, what distinguished the Blakes summer experience was the Firm’s commitment to providing students with strong mentorship. Frequent lunches with seasoned lawyers, facilitating and supporting organized and impromptu summer student events, and exposure to the Firm’s diverse range of practice areas all contributed to creating a comfortable work and learning environment. I am both excited and confident launching my legal career at Blakes.”
