What we offer:
We are proud to provide well-rounded summer and articling experiences that include intellectually stimulating work, court appearances, formal and informal mentorship, many shadowing opportunities, internal professional development programs, social events, and exposure to some of the most interesting and high-profile cases in the country.
HHR has two main practice groups – civil and criminal litigation. Many of our lawyers practice both criminal and civil litigation.

What we are looking for:
- Excellent academic achievement
- Strong analytic writing ability
- Proven ability to identify, anticipate, and effectively address risks and roadblocks
- Excellent research skills
- Our goal is to hire summer students with the intention of them continuing to article at HHR
