Your experience

Our seasonal clerk programs are your opportunity to sample life in the law and at Lander & Rogers, to see whether we’re right for you. The program will build on your university education through structured training, dedicated mentoring and, most importantly, doing real work for real clients.

We’re looking for people with the ability to tackle complex legal scenarios, energy to absorb new concepts and enthusiasm to work collaboratively to deliver high-quality outcomes.

Every individual who joins our growing firm is an essential contributor to our shared success. That's why we don't simply seek the brightest legal minds, but those who share our values of authenticity, connection, collaboration and innovation.

Accelerate your success alongside a team that is invested in your growth, while developing your legal skills and business acumen.
