Social Activities

Our students, stagiaires and lawyers like to have fun. Over the years, a number of formal and informal social gatherings and events have taken form. Here are some examples of the ways our people spend time together, get to know one another and enjoy each other's company:

• We have a softball team and a hockey team which play other firm's teams on a weekly basis in season.
• In the summer, we have roller-blading gatherings and noon-hour training sessions on Mount Royal accompanied by a personal trainer.
• Each summer, the Student Committee and mentors participate in a "surprise" activity organized for students and stagiaires.
• In addition to cocktails celebrating the arrival of new recruits or our students or the swearing in of our stagiaires, we hold weekly Thursday evening summer cocktails at the office or in establishments nearby.
• We have a great summer party involving all students, stagiaires, lawyers and staff - the location is revealed only at the last minute.
• We have a joyful Christmas party where many of the lawyers reveal some interesting talents.
• For several years, in January, we are inviting all members of the Montréal office and their family for a skating evening at the Bell Center.
• Each section has an annual weekend retreat, a portion of which is work-related, but where much of the time is spent getting to know each other better and having fun.
• Through different activities, we encourage gatherings between our lawyers and their respective spouses.
• Our students, stagiaires and lawyers also get together for impromptu cocktails on Fridays during the wonderful Montréal summers.
• Occasionally, we even host a sports tournament between our Montréal and Toronto lawyers.
