We Don’t Just Want Students. We Want Colleagues.

Articling Students

At Kelly Santini LLP we offer articling students the opportunity to really make themselves at home in the practice of law, with hands-on experience and an open-door culture.

We are looking for well-rounded candidates who are energetic, motivated and can easily adapt to the many different projects that will come their way. In addition to strong academic performance, we consider extra-curricular activities and interests and are generally looking for individuals who will have a good "fit" with the members of our firm.

We value bilingualism, but it is not necessary. The firm usually hires two articling students each year. Articling opportunities are offered in all of the areas of practice carried on by the firm.

Students interested in applying should submit a cover letter, along with curriculum vitae and their university transcripts to our articling principal Samantha Iturregui.
