FACL BC is pleased to present the first firm tour for NCA/LLM students who are members of FACL BC. To sign up as a FACL BC member, visit faclbc.ca/join. NCA students are Full Members who qualify for a discount code by emailing info@faclbc.ca and LLM students are Student Members (free membership).
This firm tour will be held on May 23, 2024, and is for NCA/LLM candidates considering applying to the 2025/2026 Articling Student Recruitment Cycle and/or Summer Student Recruitment Cycle. More information on the recruitment website is found on the Vancouver Bar Association website here.
BC law students are not eligible to participate in this firm tour but should check with their career services office to inquire about separate firm tour arrangements. Canadian law students who attend a law school outside of BC (who are FACL BC members) can register if their career services office will not be hosting an upcoming BC law firm tour.
Priority will be given to NCA/LLM candidates in light of the additional job barriers they face as foreign-trained lawyers.
The participating firms and organizations on May 23, 2024 are:
8:40 AM - 9:40 AM: Department of Justice
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: MLT Aikins LLP
11:20AM - 12:20PM: Whitelaw Twining
12:40PM - 1:40PM: Kornfeld LLP
2:00PM - 3:00PM: Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP
3:20PM - 4:20PM: Alexander Holburn Beaudin + Lang LLP
Please register on this page for the ticket(s) corresponding to the firm(s) you plan to attend.
Following the firm tour, we invite you to join our sold out (now waitlisted) social mixer held in conjunction with CBABC and SABA BC here starting at 5:30 pm. We encourage you to add your name to the waitlist here as there will be extra space available.
There is limited availability for spots on this tour and spots will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Due to the limited availability of spots, please do not register unless you seriously intend to participate in the tour.
This is a complimentary event for FACL BC members. Please let us know ASAP if your RSVP changes, out of respect and courtesy to the hosting firms and organizations. A failure to do so without explanation and/or repeated no-shows to complimentary FACL BC events with food may result in your attendance being flagged, impacting the ability to attend future complimentary FACL BC events where light refreshments are arranged.
We thank all of the participating firms for their generosity in making this inaugural NCA/LLM firm tour happen.
