Careers

RJS LAW Professional Corporation offers an incomparable articling experience. I was constantly encouraged to continue developing my personal and professional skills. I was quickly immersed in large commercial transactions, attending meetings, and interacting with clients. I was provided the opportunity to take on significant responsibilities by drafting and reviewing transactional documents, and attending client meetings. What sets RJS LAW apart is the range of files I was exposed to as an articling student, which included commercial, corporate, employment, arbitration, mediation, and small claims matters.

Ron Smith and the RJS LAW team have an open-door policy which provided me with the support I needed to learn and grow as an articling student. Students here are provided with the support and mentorship to help them build a strong foundation as they commence their legal career.

I have found Articling with RJS LAW to be nothing short of an excellent experience. I was given the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to files from early on in my Articling term, and have been involved in all aspects of files that collectively dealt with a wide range of topics and which touched on most of the matters that are addressed in a corporate law practice. In addition, the firm is a very welcoming environment where everyone is approachable, energetic, and eager to offer guidance. Overall, I feel as though my Articling experience with RJS LAW has prepared me well for practice and I am excited to continue working with the firm as an Associate.

Having the opportunity to work as an articling student at RJS LAW provided me with real exposure to a variety of legal work. I was able to dive into aspects of commercial contracts, corporate re-organizations, insurance regulatory compliance, zoning and planning law and was even involved in preparation and attendance at a commercial arbitration and litigation hearings.  I really enjoyed my time working there.  Ron Smith, the managing lawyer, is a very skillful and knowledgeable lawyer and mentor. He really cares about his clients, but also his employees. I would say he is a good friend to his employees.  Overall, the team at RJS LAW is very professional, reliable, and friendly. I appreciated the teamwork, spirit and the great level of understanding between the firm members.  Thank you again!

I want to extend my sincere gratitude towards the RJS LAW team. The experience of working with an amazing and compassionate team is unforgettable. I realized how lucky I was to be placed in such a work environment after hearing other experiences from peers in other law firms. Thank you for the exposure, support and knowledge gained during this time at RJS LAW.
