Student Recruitment

Summer Students

We do not have any plans to hire a summer student in 2008. However, we would be pleased to keep applications on file in the event that our requirements change.

Articling at TGF

TGF is a young, dynamic law firm committed to training students to become exceptional lawyers. We provide top quality files, hands-on experience, direct client contact and ample supervision. At TGF, students can expect to receive a comprehensive and rewarding learning experience.

Our articling program is focused on active student participation. As such, students are given a great deal of responsibility early on in their careers. Students can expect to: 

• Draft pleadings and facta
• Prepare motion materials
• Appear in court on opposed and unopposed matters
• Conduct legal research
• Have carriage of their own small matters

Supervision and Rotation

Although students will have the ability to work with all lawyers in the firm, students are assigned two articling principals – one for the insolvency practice and one for the litigation practice. This ensures that students receive a broad exposure to both areas of law.

Compensation

We provide compensation that is competitive with large, national law firms in Toronto.
