THE OTTAWA STUDENT EXPERIENCE<br />
<strong>Fasken</strong> <strong>Martineau</strong>'s new Ottawa office continues the<br />
excellence of Johns<strong>to</strong>n & Buchan LLP in communications,<br />
trade and business law. Our Ottawa office offers a friendly<br />
and supportive place for our students and provides them<br />
close working relationships with lawyers and staff.<br />
The Ottawa office usually engages one articling student each<br />
year. Due <strong>to</strong> the size of the office and the nature of our<br />
practice, students do not follow a formal rotational program.<br />
You will, however, gain direct exposure <strong>to</strong>, and develop skills<br />
in, our principal practice areas of broadcasting,<br />
telecommunications, copyright, trade, competition and<br />
corporate and commercial law.<br />
Our students are compensated at rates competitive with other<br />
major Ottawa firms. Students will receive their salary while<br />
attending the Bar Adm<strong>is</strong>sion Course. All related reg<strong>is</strong>tration<br />
and course fees will also be paid, regardless of hire-back. In<br />
addition, articling students will receive a pre-articling bonus.<br />
Our goal in working with students <strong>is</strong> <strong>to</strong> provide a<br />
constructive and friendly environment in which students<br />
learn the practice of law and become directly engaged<br />
in work for clients. We also encourage participation in<br />
continuing legal education initiatives. Students in the<br />
Ottawa office are also welcome <strong>to</strong> participate in training<br />
programs conducted by the Toron<strong>to</strong> office.<br />
