I’ve worked at four law firms over 7 years, and Nixon Wenger is the best-managed in my experience. From the beginning, they made it clear that I was a valued employee, and the HR team is always available and willing to put into action any ideas employees have. The pay is competitive with Vancouver law firms, and they’re starting a remote work initiative, which makes it possible for people outside of Vernon to seek employment here.
I worked at Nixon Wenger as a summer student during the summer of 2022. I could tell from my first day that the work environment at the firm was top-tier. Every interaction I had was extremely positive. All the lawyers, legal assistants, and paralegals I had the pleasure of working with were incredibly kind and helpful, and the work was very exciting. If you are interested in practicing law or work as part of a growing and prestigious law firm in the interior of BC, I cannot recommend applying for an open position at Nixon Wenger enough.
I have been working at Nixon Wenger LLP since May of 2022. I work in the Family Department as a remote Paralegal and feel like I am truly part of a team. Having such kind and supportive colleagues makes working an enjoyable experience. It is easy to love your job when you are treated equally, with respect, and when you are shown daily that your opinion matters. My training and onboarding at Nixon Wenger LLP exceeded my expectations and I was extremely thankful for the amount of resources I was given. I look forward to spending more time at Nixon Wenger LLP!

Nixon Wenger LLP provides an articling program which is a comprehensive introduction to the practice of law.
We typically look for applicants who have a good academic background, strong interpersonal skills, and whom we feel would be a solid asset to the firm not only as a student but as a future associate and partner.
As a student, you will be assigned one partner who will act as a principal throughout your articles, and you will also be assigned an associate “buddy” to whom you can turn for help or advice at any time. There is no formal rotation system. Instead, you can expect to receive instructions directly from lawyers in any of our practice areas. We will, however, ensure that your articles will be well-rounded and that you are provided with exposure to a variety of barrister’s and solicitor’s work.
Applications should be received approximately one year in advance of the start of articles (i.e. we recommend applying once second-year grades are available). Please include transcripts with all applications.
For more information regarding articling, view the Law Society website.
