Student Program at Boughton Law

Choosing where to begin your legal career is an important step. At Boughton Law, we take pride in supporting students who are curious, ambitious, and eager to make an impact. Our program is designed to provide meaningful training, real responsibility, and the opportunity to work alongside experienced lawyers across a wide range of practice areas.

As a mid-sized Vancouver firm with over 50 lawyers, we’re large enough to offer the resources and depth of a full-service practice, yet small enough that every student becomes a valued part of our team. From day one, students are trusted with substantive work, included in client meetings, and invited to participate in firm events and community initiatives.

Our Student Program is growing — the 2025 cycle for summer 2026 intake is paused, but exciting opportunities are ahead!

Recruitment Update:

Our Student Program is a cornerstone of Boughton Law, and we remain committed to finding and supporting the best and brightest future lawyers. The next chapter of our program is just ahead: while recruitment will pause in 2025 for the summer 2026 intake, we are excited to continue building opportunities for students in the years to come.

We encourage you to stay connected with us here and on LinkedIn, where we will share updates, insights, and announcements about upcoming opportunities to join our team.
