Real Experience. Real Impact.

At Neinstein LLP, we believe the most effective learning happens through hands-on experience. Our Summer and Articling Student Programs offer an immersive introduction to personal injury and medical malpractice litigation. As a student at Neinstein LLP, you'll work closely with some of Canada's most experienced and respected litigators and dedicated staff. You'll gain practical, hands-on legal experience that prepares you to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

Why Choose Neinstein?

Our Summer and Articling Students are provided with practical hands on experience that only a smaller, boutique firm can offer. Students are provided with a wide range of assignments from all lawyers within the firm. They gain valuable experience in drafting pleadings, motion materials, facta and memoranda of law, as well as in the art of oral advocacy. Our students are expected to attend and argue their own motions before Masters of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, conduct Pre-Trials in Small Claims Court and appear on behalf of clients before various Tribunals, including the Canada Pension Plan, Social Benefits and Criminal Injuries.

Comprehensive Training

From your first day at Neinstein LLP, you'll be entrusted with meaningful work and assignments from lawyers across a range of practice areas. Our students gain real experience in both written and oral advocacy. You'll have opportunities to communicate with clients and opposing counsel, draft pleadings, and assist in preparing materials for motions, examinations for discovery, mediations, pre-trials, and trials.

Mentorship

Each student is paired with a dedicated lawyer who provides personalized guidance and support. But mentorship at Neinstein LLP extends beyond one relationship - every lawyer at the firm is invested in your growth and success.

Responsibility and Growth

At Neinstein LLP, students are viewed as future colleagues. As a boutique firm, we can offer real responsibility and meaningful opportunities, not just observational learning.

A Proven Path to Success

When we invest in our students, it's with a long-term vision. More than half of our current lawyers began their careers as students at Neinstein LLP, and five of our six most recent articling students have returned to the firm as associates.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking ambitious, driven, and compassionate students with a strong interest in personal injury litigation. We typically hire two summer students (after 2L) and two articling students each year, maintaining a strong record of hiring from Ontario law schools.

Compensation

Our compensation package is competitive with, or exceeds, other Toronto firms of similar size.

The Application Process

We are now accepting applications for Summer 2026 until October 31, 2025. To be considered, please submit a cover letter, CV, and your most recent law school transcript.
