Supporting our students every step of the way.

We provide layered support for students, from oversight and leadership to professional development. Our students do not just sit on the sidelines; they experience a variety of real firsthand work with our lawyers across practice areas. Our firm’s culture encourages collaboration and we make sure you are in the room where it happens, whether in court, at an arbitration or in a key meeting.

Helping you navigate our firm.

In addition to your principal, we partner our students with a junior mentor – someone who can help you navigate the ins and outs of the firm. Together, they will ensure you have a well-rounded, thoughtful and enjoyable articling experience.

Joining Watson Goepel means gaining a partner to guide you through the formative stages of your career.

Student testimonials

During my articling period, I gained comprehensive range of experiences assisting with various legal transactions, including share and asset purchases, real estate dealings, corporate transactions and wills and estate. I also developed skills in the areas of debt collection, Residential Tenancy Board disputes and strata disputes.

Dorothy Z. Articling Student

During my articling experience, I was exposed to diverse practice areas while also being given the opportunity to focus in on and narrow my own interests. It has been a pleasure working in an environment with the lawyers and staff here who are at all times friendly, supportive, and dedicated.
