Lidstone & Company aims to hire one or two articling students each year, including summer students who may return to the firm. The salary for articling students is commensurate with other law firms in downtown Vancouver and we offer a benefits package including medical and dental benefits. Students will be provided with a transit pass or cash in lieu (or a parking space if necessary).
