“It doesn’t even feel like work when you love what you do and the people you work with. It is such a privilege to be a part of the Vogel team. By far the absolute best company to work for and most of all how they go above and beyond for their staff.”

The manner in which this firm has dealt with the challenges of the pandemic has been truly exceptional and they have provided a secure and comforting environment for their employees.”

“I started working at Vogel LLP as a practicum student 12 years ago and have literally never left. I think it is very rare to find a place of employment that you consider a second home. The camaraderie amongst the lawyers and staff at Vogel LLP is unlike any other office I have worked in. I feel heard and valued as an employee and love that I can call my co-workers my family.”

“My articling year at Vogel was nothing but a positive experience, where I was able to develop and hone valuable skills for a career in litigation. Throughout my year, I was able to work on family, estate and civil litigation files, as well as within the firm’s personal injury practice. The collegial environment combined with Vogel’s strong focus on mentorship meant that I received what I believe to be an above standard articling experience. Before I had finished my articling year, I was already making solo submissions in Court on a multitude of files, some complex, as well as interacting with clients and opposing counsel in a meaningful capacity. The ease of ability in seeking advice and guidance from the senior partners and associates ensures that any articling student at Vogel will have the best opportunity to learn, develop and grow as a junior lawyer.” – Tristan Aronson

“Most law school graduates dread their articling year, far too often hearing stories of being overworked and underappreciated. However, my time at Vogel LLP was an amazing learning experience. From day one I felt like I belonged to a team and was given every opportunity to succeed. My principal and the other lawyers at the firm provided guidance every step of the way and ensured I was able to grow as a student-at-law. I was able to experience firsthand multiple facets of the law, such as court applications, mediations, arbitrations, client and practice management. My articling experience at Vogel LLP provided me with the skills and tools to succeed.” – Mandeep Dhillon

“Articling at Vogel LLP was an exceptional learning experience. I was welcomed by all and treated as one of the team from my first day. I was provided with vast opportunities to develop my skills through involvement in matters proceeding to mediation, arbitration, Chambers hearings, Trial and the Alberta Court of Appeal. I felt the lawyers at Vogel LLP really cared about and were invested in my learning such that they would regularly take time to meet with me to review my work and provide feedback. It is through the mentorship and teaching of the Vogel LLP team that I built the foundational skills to a successful career in law.” – Leslie Taylor
