Title of the Job: 2L Summer Law Student 2025 | Tax Litigation

Location: Toronto, ON

Job Description: We plan to hire a 2L summer law intern and start a journey that will give you three things.First, we’ll provide you with training so that you’ll become a powerful litigator who’s also passionate about tax.Second, we’ll give you the tools and technology that will help you think and work better.Third, we’ll give you the support and environment that will help you find the best path to chase your purpose and potential.Our QualitiesOur firm is dedicated to delivering superior tax litigation results and experiences. Also, we aim to enhance the Canadian tax dispute system, making it more efficient, fair, and beneficial for all stakeholders.We focus on three key qualities in every candidate for every role.We look for people: * who will thrive in our culture, which values eagerness for collaboration, commitment to personal responsibility, and an unquenchable thirst for continuous learning and improvement;

• who feel inspired to deliver truly superior client outcomes and experiences; and

• who want to contribute to our law firm’s greater purpose—improving Canada’s tax and litigation systems, a mission we advance through our ‘1% for Good’ initiative.

Your QualitiesWhen we picture you, we think of someone who is an independent thinker. You are analytical and witty. You are self-confident and humble. You do the right thing, always. You take pride in the effort and quality you bring to the things that you do.You are interested in litigation, but you might not have a tax education or training. You are starting to get the idea that combining litigation and tax might give you a really interesting career, and you expect to take tax next year (you might even be thinking about participating in the Bowman Moot).You default to a positive attitude, most of the time. You see a “desired future state”, and you’re determined to reach it. Constant learning excites you. Clear, straightforward communication matters to you; you actively share your thoughts and listen intently, knowing the importance of both. You welcome honest feedback and view challenges as chances to improve.Adapting energizes you. Given the complexities of tax litigation and our goal to achieve outstanding results, you thrive on change. The thought of doing things differently as we raise the bar keeps you engaged; a monotonous job doesn’t appeal to you.You balance a strong personal accountability with a commitment to our collective success. You value the autonomy to excel on your own and the strength we harness as a team. You’re ready to push boundaries, both yours and the team’s, embracing the challenges of striving for excellence.QualificationCompletion of your “2L” year from a recognized Canadian law school. * Proficiency in common software applications (e.g., Word, Excel) and adaptability to new software.Note: This role is an office-first role.
