Be one of ours

We know that the long-lasting success of our firm depends on employee retention, and more specifically on succession planning. We therefore meticulously select our articling students to promote a long-term relationship. At BEAUVAIS TRUCHON, your articling is a stepping stone to a future with us.

Our articling offer

THREE ARTICLING STUDENTS. We usually hire three articling students each year in order to provide close guidance and personalized training. There is no competition between the students, just a stimulating work environment that enables you to give the best of yourself and realize your full potential. Our articling students can work either at our Quebec City office or at our office in Beauce.

A SUMMER WITH US. We will be pleased to work with you as a summer student during the summer preceding the courses at the Bar School.

SIX MONTHS. This articling period may start after the last exam at the Bar school. We will be pleased to welcome you at our firm whether you have chosen the 4-month or the 8-month program of the Bar school. Your choice will be ours.

GUIDANCE. Upon arrival, a tutor will be assigned to you. This person will be your internship supervisor and will ensure that you explore each of the main law sectors at our firm while guiding your integration into the legal practice. You will work first-hand with the lawyers in charge of the mandates and will participate in all of the stages of these mandates. To ensure the thoroughness of your internship, you will conduct legal research under the supervision of a lawyer responsible for our documentation centre. This person will be a precious ally to help you master research tools and answer all of your questions.
