Canadian Lawyer partners with legal associations to survey legal graduates

Canadian Lawyer has joined forces with the Canadian Lawyer's Association, South Asian Bar Association, Criminal Lawyers Association, Toronto Lawyers Association, Hellenic Canadian Lawyers’ Association and Young Women in Law for the NextGen Lawyers Survey.

To better understand the considerations of graduates when choosing a law firm to work for, we invite you to take part in our latest survey. Together, we aim to help inform law firms about the most pivotal factors for young lawyers when deciding their future career paths.

Aside from expanding its research reach, the partnership will allow Canadian Lawyer to sharpen its insights to better reflect the profession and the next generation of lawyers.
