The atmosphere here in the office is amazing. Whether you’re stuck on a complicated call or dealing with a sensitive matter, all the staff rally around and provide such a strong support system for each other. Sometimes it’s humour, most of the time it’s chocolate, but no matter what it is that you need, everyone is ready to step up and provide it.

By far what I have enjoyed most in my time here is the ability to speak directly with clients and assist them through their legal issue, their gratitude in receiving their legal advice is so rewarding and I look forward to the many conversations I get to have each week.

I enjoyed being in a supportive and inspiring environment and the independence given to work on the projects, but also collaboration when it is necessary. I also liked the check-ups and seeing if we were doing ok and staying on track to finishing our tasks. Everyone is also very welcoming and understanding of what I don't know, and they are willing to teach me.

The work environment is supportive, and the resources given are sufficient. It is a great place to learn and give back to the community.
