Hamilton | Appotive encourages students to contact our firm about the articling opportunity we offer each year.

Students who article with us will benefit from Hamilton | Appotive's wealth of legal experience. Students are exposed to all areas of the firm and are given opportunity to carry files from beginning to end, and thus gain the hands-on experience needed to practice with confidence when called to the Bar.

When hiring, our protocol is to give first consideration to our current or former articling students. Four of our most recently added lawyers are former articling students.

What to submit

We value the individual strengths and experiences of articling students and encourage candidates to submit any material they feel we should consider.

In all cases, we require at minimum:

  • A cover letter
  • Transcripts and course-of-study details
  • References
  • Articling availability dates

Send your materials to Peter Hamilton, chair of our articling program committee.
