Pros

Benefits and compensation for managerial levels and up are competitive. Travel and discount benefits available. Remote/WFM options and five Canadian locations offer flexible work arrangements.

Cons

Practicing lawyers often impede ability to move projects forward. Leadership and management at directorship level is often comprised of practicing lawyers rather than business leaders or those with business training.

Pros

Most of the lawyers are friendly.

Cons

The firm continuous to grow but is the growth sustainable? Apparently not. They let go over 60 staff and unknown number of lawyers during first half of 2017.

Pros

Well-located, met with great personalities, quick professional growth, perfect on a resume

Cons

Local management was terrible...terrible. You don't need to have a college degree to know that any given lawyer cannot become a managing partner overnight without having a professional or educational background that actually taught him/her how to manage people! Failing to keep young lawyers, low salaries for unlimited worked hours, very hierarchical, not many social events ... and the list goes on...
