Lawyers

Where Colleagues Work Together

Throughout our history, Lang Michener's culture has been based upon a dedication to professional excellence in a collegial atmosphere that brings together individuals of differing styles, personalities, and approaches in an environment of friendship and respect. We support each other to deliver high-performance® legal services to our clients.  Our open, non-hierarchical setting emphasizes full and informal communication among lawyers and between lawyers and staff.  And because of our extraordinary commitment to the education and professional development of summer and articling student lawyers, there are no barriers to their interaction with partners and associates.

Where Education is Comprehensive

We take our responsibility for education seriously.  It begins with our summer students, who receive comprehensive orientation sessions on the firm and its procedures, ongoing access to a mentor or articling principal, and regular skill enhancement and evaluation sessions.  We design in-house seminars to enhance the skills of articling students in such areas as ethics, court procedure, due diligence, pleadings and research techniques, and provide both training and financial assistance with bar admission courses.  All lawyers enjoy access to Continuing Legal Education courses, and we encourage participation in various organizations such as the Canadian Bar Association. 

Where Rewards are Exceptional

Because Lang Michener seeks to hire only those lawyers committed to excellence, we offer compensation and benefit packages that offer exceptional rewards.  Our pay levels are commensurate with the top tier firms in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver.  We provide full coverage on health, dental and life insurance, and furnish both short-term and long-term disability insurance.  Vacation and family leave allowances are generous, as are additional benefits such as subsidies for health club membership. 

Where Personal Responsibility is Paramount

Our lawyers deliver the skilled advice required of a leading national law firm, with a real-world understanding of what our clients have the right to expect for the fees they pay.  Cost-efficiencies, responsive service and rapid turnaround are standard practice in our firm.  We go beyond them to provide what clients too seldom receive even from the largest firms:  the right level of staffing for any matter, clear and concise communication on paper and in person, and a practical understanding of business needs developed by working in partnership with each client. Our formula for success as a firm is to choose the best people, give them the best support, and allow them to do their best in support of our clients.  If you welcome that kind of responsibility, we hope you will explore the career opportunities that we offer.
