Positions in our Toronto office:

Our Toronto office hires several second-year law students to work from May through August. Summer students perform very similar work to articling students.

We generally follow the 2L recruitment guidelines of the Law Society of Ontario. However, we do not participate in on-campus interviews.

Summer 2026 applications

For 2026 Summer positions, you can apply through the viLawPortal until Monday July 21, 2025.  At that time, the portal closes to further applications.

However, because we do not participate in on-campus interviews, we have extended our application deadline to Friday September 5, 2025.  Law students wishing to apply after July 21, 2025 can do so by emailing their applications to labourlaw@goldblattpartners.com.

PLEASE SEND YOUR APPLICATION TO THE VILAWPORTAL OR TO THE GP EMAIL ADDRESS – DO NOT SUBMIT IT TWICE.

Applications should include:

  • A cover letter;
  • A resume;
  • All university and law school transcripts (official versions not required);
  • A list of courses you intend to take in your second and third years;
  • References are not required, but applicants are welcome to include references in their applications. If a referee wishes to send a reference letter to us directly, they can do so through the labourlaw email address above.

For more information about the summer program, please contact Vanessa Payne.

 

Positions in our Ottawa Office:

Goldblatt Partners’ Ottawa office hires summer students to provide assistance to our labour and civil litigators with their research and case preparation needs and to research and update certain chapters of the book “Trade Union Law in Canada”, by Peter Engelmann et al. Applications are accepted from students who are in their second year of law school.

The application process usually takes place from January to March each year. Watch this page near the end of the year for information about Summer 2026 positions.
