OPG has a fast-paced in-house legal department that can provide a varied and challenging paid Articling experience. OPG is the perfect choice for someone who is particularly interested in the energy field or for someone interested in experiencing an ‘in-house' environment with ‘Bay Street' quality work.
OPG's Law Division consists of approximately 25 lawyers divided into two main practice areas:
| Corporate/Commercial |
|
Advocacy/Regulatory |
| More than half of our lawyers are devoted to various aspects of corporate and commercial law. Students can expect to be exposed to a wide range of activities within this practice area during their Articling work term. |
|
This area can be divided into four main practice areas: Labour/Employment, Regulatory, Environmental, and Litigation. |
