Anita Szigeti Advocates is hiring an articling student starting mid-August. 

The firm specializes in mental health law.  Currently an all-woman firm consisting of Anita, a junior associate and articling student, there are also a number of summer interns working on special projects. 

The firm is extremely busy with litigation before tribunals and on appeals.  Someone is always in Court, or these days in a Zoom hearing.  Most of the firm’s work is before the Ontario Review Board and Consent and Capacity Board and on appeals from both to the Superior Court and/or Court of Appeal.  There are also weeks to months each year spent in Coroner’s Court on Inquests. 

Anita does a ton of teaching and publishing.  Students will frequently get to work on these special projects and tag along for all speaking engagements, appeals, teaching / learning opportunities and networking.  Anita is the President of LAMDA and runs regular (free to all) CPDs through the firm. Our student facilitates LAMDA’s events and list service as well.

The job is busy, important and fun.  The current student just said: “We work hard, but given how vulnerable the clients are, it never feels like a chore, and it never feels like we can do enough.”  That’s the attitude we want.  Our student must care about the clients.

Please send your application with your resume to maya@asabarristers.com and student@asabarristers.com along with transcripts and a writing sample.
