Pros

Fairly small team, so there are opportunities after a while to build relationships and take on fairly substantive legal assignments. Also hybrid on Mondays, no pressure to go into the office and can work from home. Hours are good - can work past 6 if there is something urgent but usually done before then.

Cons

No real cons - there is quite a bit of admin work (but this is to be expected as a low-level intern), most mentorship is informal so onus is on you to ask for feedback.

Pros

The leaders of the company have a lot of capital. Paul Desmerais the CEO comes from generational family wealth, so they have lots of money to hire people and the firm has been growing a lot since inception.

Cons

Even though they've been around since 2015, the place is still all about break-neck growth. Things are chaotic here and people are overworked. Many don't stay long and use it as a stepping stone. Paul and the other senior leaders try to be nice, but the chaos and the never changing strategies and multiple failed attempts at product launches make this place unsustainable. No wonder they have to run to the middle east to raise capital.
