A Hands-on legal experience that prepares you for practice
At Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, our paralegal placement students are valued contributors to our growing team of licensed paralegals. We offer a hands-on, immersive experience that goes far beyond research or administrative tasks. You’ll gain direct exposure to the day-to-day work of a busy legal team – with meaningful responsibilities, real training, and the chance to build your skills alongside respected professionals.
What to expect
Your placement is more than a requirement – it’s an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to real legal work. Our students:
- Draft pleadings and other legal documents
- Attend court appearances with our licensed paralegals
- Interact directly with clients
- Get involved in case strategy and file management
- Gain insight into the business side of legal practice
You’ll work side by side with our team and be supported every step of the way. We ensure you’re exposed to the types of matters and assignments that will prepare you for your future paralegal career.
Training and mentorship
We provide all placement students with foundational training and access to dedicated mentorship throughout the program. You’ll receive feedback, guidance, and support from paralegals and other legal professionals who are committed to helping you grow.
Your experience, your way
Every placement is tailored to the student. The dynamic structure of our program allows you to shape your own experience, so you can focus on the areas that interest you most. Whether you’re aiming for a career in litigation or want a better understanding of legal operations, we’ll help you get there.
Career growth
Many of our placement students have continued with the firm in part-time or full-time roles following their placement. We believe in growing talent from within – and when we find motivated, capable students, we invest in their development.
If you’re looking for a placement that combines mentorship, practical training, and real responsibility in a fast-paced and respected firm, we encourage you to apply to the paralegal student program at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.
