My student experience at Cassels has been amazing so far. I have had the opportunity to be mentored by very impressive and talented lawyers, who have been nothing but kind and welcoming. Just the other day, I went for coffee with my articling principal, who emphasized the importance of not only doing hard work, but also making personal connections at the firm. This speaks to the unique culture at Cassels. I chose Cassels because I knew that I would get exposed to a variety of different work during the non-rotational summer program. Some of my favourite work assignments have been: drafting agreements for a private M&A deal, reviewing recording contracts for the entertainment group, and conducting research on the new Cannabis Regulations.
