My summer at Cassels exceeded all of my expectations! The inclusive, friendly and open environment that initially attracted me to the firm is what makes the culture at Cassels unmatched. I had the opportunity to take on meaningful roles on files which included drafting court documents, corresponding with clients and attending hearings and meetings. The lawyers I worked with were quick to answer any questions I had and took the time to explain anything I did not understand. I got to take on challenging tasks and grow as a future lawyer, while always knowing that I had multiple people I could reach out to for support. The non-rotational summer allowed me to try numerous areas of law, interact with lawyers in all offices and gain new areas of interests. I cannot wait to return to the Toronto office for my articles!
