TGF is a 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.

TGF typically hires one articling student per year. 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.

 

At Thornton Grout Finnigan LLP, we pride ourselves on being a leading boutique law firm focused on restructuring and complex commercial litigation matters. Renowned for our expertise, we are consistently acknowledged as leaders in our field throughout Toronto and beyond, reflecting our commitment to excellence and the strong, foundational relationships we build with our clients.

We offer a unique environment for associates, providing them with the opportunity to work on high quality cases, gain hands-on experience, and receive comprehensive mentoring. Our firm is dedicated to facilitating the development of practical skills in business development and client service, supported by a robust support system.

  • A mid-level corporate/commercial litigation associate (3-5 years of Call)
  • A mid to senior level corporate/commercial litigation associate (3-7 years of Call)
  • A mid to senior level corporate/commercial litigation associate with experience in complex construction and/or P3 litigation (3-7 years of Call)
