Career Preparation

Working as a student at Lerners can be a great stepping stone to the rest of your career as a lawyer.

Many of our articling students return to the firm as associates, as the chart below shows:

In cases where articling students do not return to the firm as associates—either because we are not able to offer positions to them or because they have decided to pursue careers in different cities or outside of private practice—the firm tries hard to help them find the kind of position they would enjoy. For example, we give constructive feedback on cover letters and resumés, provide reference letters, and contact our colleagues in other law firms to encourage consideration of our former articling students for any openings they may have.


 
Whether our students return as associate lawyers or leave the firm to pursue their careers elsewhere, we think the most valuable contribution we make to students is excellent training that will serve them well in their careers wherever they choose to go.
