A fulfilling internship
An internship at Cain Lamarre offers an enriching learning experience in 18 areas of practice, within an organization that brings together nearly 300 legal professionals across Quebec.
Working alongside experienced colleagues, you'll benefit from their expertise while being exposed to the latest legal innovations, thanks in part to the work of our knowledge management and practice transformation team. We value self-starters who are equally comfortable working on their own or as part of a team. Our law firm offers a stimulating environment with exciting cases and a tradition of excellence.
A unique structure and invaluable support
Cain Lamarre is one of the largest law firms in Quebec. Our unique structure offers the best of both worlds, combining extensive resources, high-end clients, large-scale projects and a well-established reputation with the authenticity and personalized approach of a small local firm.
At Cain Lamarre, you'll find a cooperative atmosphere, open doors, minimal hierarchy and the opportunity to interact with members of the firm at all levels, from the most junior to the most senior, whether they're partners or not. Our internship program, which does not involve formal rotations, fosters autonomy and proactiveness, encouraging you to collaborate with professionals from different offices. We're committed to putting you in touch with the right people to support your professional development, most notably via a mentorship program for the full duration of your time with us.
