For the past several years, RBS has hired three students per articling year. Salaries are reviewed regularly, and are competitive with downtown Vancouver rates. For other details on compensation and benefits, see our articling outline . Lawyers generally assign work directly to students, and each student has constant access to their principal, members of the articling committee and department heads. Students with a particular interest are encouraged to develop their skills in that area and to attend continuing education courses during their year.
Students have their own office with shared support staff.
The firm maintains an intranet with current technology to streamline tasks and research wherever possible. At RBS, social functions give students a chance to meet with staff and lawyers. Please note that RBS does not take applications for summer positions, although we are now taking applications under co-op programs administered by some of the law schools.
