Join Montreal’s first litigation boutique.

When you join Woods, you can be assured that you will be starting your career with a litigation team committed to excellence. With many awards under our belt, our team has built a solid reputation over the years:
<ul>
<li>Among the top 200 firms in Canada (The Globe &amp; Mail and Statista);</li>
<li>Top 10 in Litigation (The Globe &amp; Mail and Statista);</li>
<li>Firm of the Year &#8211; Litigation Team of the Year in Quebec for the 4th consecutive year (Benchmark Litigation);</li>
<li>Ranked among the top 10 litigation boutiques in Canada (Canadian Lawyer);</li>
<li>Repeatedly recognized by the Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory, Chambers Canada, The Legal 500 and The Best Lawyers in Canada.</li>
</ul>
Joining the most reputable litigation firm in Quebec also means gaining valuable time in your professional career by benefiting from the expertise of renowned lawyers and by participating in complex, large-scale cases that raise legal issues that will often become precedents.
At the same time, you will be working with and representing a diverse clientele with high profile standings that will allow you to sharpen your knowledge on the business world. You will need to master procedure and substantive law, identify problems and formulate solutions, and be both a strategist and a negotiator.

A tradition of excellence

At Woods, we value hands-on learning by developing your independence and proactivity. From the very beginning, we involve you in the strategic development of our cases by encouraging you to participate in hearings and meet with clients. What you have learned in university, you will put into practice right away by:
<ul>
<li>Drafting procedures.</li>
<li>Summarizing your legal research.</li>
<li>Analyzing evidence.</li>
<li>Accompanying lawyers in court.</li>
<li>Etc.</li>
</ul>
Following the evolution of a dispute from A to Z is an opportunity for young jurists to develop several professional reflexes crucial to the practice of law. At the end of your articling, you will be able to immerse yourself in cases quicker, will have gained in efficiency and will be fine legal communicators ready to conduct an examination and to deliver a pleading.

Autonomy: learning by doing

Our team is the reflection of a myriad of backgrounds that share a common denominator of unparalleled intellectual curiosity. Open-mindedness and caring have been part of our values since the creation of the firm. We are delighted to welcome different talents: all these personalities make up our strength and our identity.
Well-being and mutual support are at the heart of our philosophy. Our disconnection awareness program is one of many initiatives that promote the healthy reconciliation of a stimulating work schedule with your personal life. In addition to creating sincere bonds, joining our team also means joining a team that celebrates moments of conviviality around events, lunches, and cocktails

A friendly work environment
