"Prior to starting my articles with Field, I worked in 2006 and 2007 as a summer student at the firm. I enjoyed my student experience at Field for many reasons. The lawyers at the firm are good about getting you involved in files, and students at Field are exposed to many different areas of law. There are many opportunities to learn from observing, and there are also lots of chances to get hands-on experience. I feel lucky to have been able to summer and article at Field."
Field Law is one of the premier law firms in Western Canada, with a reputation for outstanding client service and high ethical standards. Through our offices in Edmonton, Calgary and Yellowknife, and a legal team of more than 100 lawyers, we represent a large and diverse group of clients. Our firm does work in virtually all practice areas, and we are therefore able to expose our articling students to the widest possible range of work and a variety of practice styles.
The articling process at Field Law is designed to be exciting, challenging, and rewarding for the student, with the emphasis on education. Our firm’s top priority for lawyers and articling students alike is quality work and ethical practice. We are dedicated to preparing articling students for the practice of law.
As an articling student at Field Law, you will be ushered through the transition from "law school" problem solving to problem solving with clients. You will learn the skills required to properly analyze legal issues and devise practical and effective solutions for clients. You will learn the essential elements of good legal practice, including legal drafting, negotiation, and the effective organization and presentation of opinions and ideas.
Significant time and resources are invested in developing articling students and associates into respected and capable members of the Bar. As a result, articling students at Field Law are expected to take their work seriously and to excel. However, this hard work is not something that should come at the expense of all other facets of an articling student’s life. We believe that a balanced lifestyle is crucial, and that a vital family, social, and recreational life is the key to a collegial workplace and longevity within the profession.
Articling students at our firm are actively included in all firm meetings and events, and in all respects are treated as vital members of the Field Law team. We hire our students with a view to their ultimately becoming candidates for partnership, a philosophy that is reflected in our high student retention rates.
