SEEKING ARTICLING PLACEMENTS

Ana Beatriz Rodrigues (Posted October 31, 2025)

I am an internationally trained lawyer with strong experience in litigation, contracts, and regulatory compliance, currently completing the Ontario licensing process through the Law Practice Program (LPP) at Toronto Metropolitan University. I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Canadian Common Law from Osgoode Hall Law School, which deepened my understanding of Canadian legal principles and practice standards.

Through the LPP’s Virtual Law Firm simulation, I manage real-world legal scenarios, from client interviews and legal research to drafting contracts, court materials, and advocacy documents, mirroring the day-to-day responsibilities of an articling student. I am developing a well-rounded skill set in both litigation and solicitor work, under the guidance of licensed practitioners and experienced professionals. The combination of domestic learning and international experience enables me to approach legal problems with precision, strategy, and adaptability.

I am now seeking a Work Experience placement (January–April 2026) where I can contribute to a firm’s ongoing files, draft legal documents, and support advocacy or transactional work. Supervising lawyers are eligible for up to 12 CPD hours through the LSO for mentorship.

If your practice is looking for a detail-oriented, resourceful, and practice-ready candidate, I would be pleased to connect at beatriz.rodrigues@torontomu.ca.

I hold a Professional Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Canadian Common Law from Osgoode Hall Law School. I am currently completing the Ontario licensing process through the Law Practice Program at Toronto Metropolitan University. The program consists of a four-month practical training phase during which I manage files, conduct legal research, draft a variety of legal documents, interview clients, and develop courtroom skills through advocacy training and exposure to court procedures. This is followed by a four-month Work Experience placement from January to April 2026. LPP candidates have the same rights of appearance and responsibilities as articling students. I am seeking a Work Experience placement for Winter 2026 (January to April) in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. Supervising lawyers are eligible to earn up to twelve CPD hours for their mentorship.

Basil Ugochukwu (Posted September 17, 2025)
I am an internationally trained lawyer pursuing the Ontario licensing through the Law Practice Program (LPP) at Toronto Metropolitan University. The LPP is a Law Society of Ontario initiative with two components: a 4-month practical training component (August to December) and a 4-month Work Experience component (January to April). LPP Candidates like me have the same status and rights of appearance as articling students. During the training component which I am currently undertaking, I will manage multiple matters, conduct practical legal research, draft agreements and retainer letters, interview clients, argue motions, conduct negotiations, docket time, manage a Virtual Law Firm’s trust account, etc. This component is preparing me to hit the ground running, and satisfies all of the core competency requirements demanded by the LSO. I am looking for a Work Experience placement in the Kitchener/Waterloo region for Winter 2026, i.e., January to April 2026. An LPP Work Experience employer only needs to focus on integrating me into their existing practice. My email address is bugochukwu@torontomu.ca.
