Student Program

We have a dedicated team of 4 partners, 1 senior associate lawyer, 7 associate lawyers, 2 articling students and 1 summer student.  Assisting them is a team of more than 20 clerks and assistants.

We are committed to providing students with hands on exposure to the practise of law but are also committed to the academic development of students while in law school.

Partner, Jennifer Bezaire teaches the Automobile Insurance course at the University of Windsor Faculty of Law. Senior Associate, Heather Colman, runs our student program.
