AMLC Hosted a 2L Summer Student Employer Tour

AMLC hosted a Firm Tour in June and we were happy to welcome students from Peter A. Allard School of Law, University of Victoria, and Thompson Rivers University to our office! Thank you to the group of students who came out. We are looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces during Allard's and UVic's on campus interviews in the coming weeks.

AMLC has been selected as a 5-Star Pro Bono Firm by Canadian Lawyer Magazine

AMLC is proud to share its selection as a 5-Star Pro Bono Firm by Canadian Lawyer Magazine. Pro bono work is especially important to our team, and our lawyers have represented individuals and organizations on a pro bono basis at all levels of court in British Columbia, as well as before the Supreme Court of Canada. We are grateful for this recognition and, more importantly, the opportunity to continue to do meaningful legal work for the broader community.

This is Canadian Lawyer’s second annual 5-Star Pro Bono Firms special report, which recognizes Canadian law firms that demonstrate pro bono infrastructure at an institutional level.
