Employment

Articling and Summering with Bacchus

We provide one of the few intensive corporate and securities law articling experiences in Vancouver. Our articling students are given substantial responsibilities, handling their own files and interacting closely with clients.

In most cases, our students are involved in the process of taking a company public, from start to finish. They assist clients with incorporations, minute book set ups, annual and quarterly report filing, finance agreements, mergers and acquisitions, registration statements, communications with securities regulators and stock exchanges and dispute resolution. And all summer students are involved in researching corporate and legal topics as well as developing and carrying out marketing strategies.

We offer a salary competitive with that of most Vancouver firms, provide a full salary during PLTC attendance and pay all PLTC fees.

We have regular social activities with staff and clients such as lunches, dinners, receptions and special events.

Articling positions

We have hired two articled students for 2008-2009. Interviews for articles in 2009-2010 will take place during “Interview Week,” in accordance with the guidelines established by the Vancouver Bar Association. Only those applicants that are granted interviews will be contacted.

Summering positions

We will be hiring one student each year for summer articles, and have not yet hired a student for 2008. Only those applicants that are granted interviews will be contacted.

Qualifications and Application Process

We are looking for candidates with an interest in securities law or finance. A background in business or accounting, though useful, is not required. Our lawyers have strong communication and analytical skills and possess the ability to work independently as well as part of a team. If you fit these criteria, please forward your application, including cover letter, CV, transcripts and a sample of your writing to Adel Tagirova, Legal Assistant at atagirova@bacchuscorplaw.com.
