When I created this group 8 years ago, it was meant to be a place where my uOttawa Law classmates and I could share job postings. We were all kind of freaked about articling and I knew that OCIs (or Course au Stage for us French folk) were not the be-all end-all.

8 years later: there are over 12,000 of us across Canada helping one another succeed in this all encompassing profession.
I am so proud of what we have built together.

I am so thrilled to announce that Moyo Balagun (Solicitor, City of London, Ontario) has agreed to join us on June 20th for what is sure to be an inspirational conversation and Q&A. Moyo is an Internationally Trained Lawyer who started her career in Nigeria and is now practicing law in Ontario. Oh ya and she did all by the age of 23!

Even if you're not an ITL, believe me, you will be inspired.

I hope you can join us.

For those of you who didn't tune in to the Live today... here is the big news...

Introducing, legalcareercoach.ca!

Book your free 30 minute chat with me and let's see how I can help you.

I am so excited to be offering you a brand new service. This is not your typical legal career coaching service and here's why:

(1) It will not cost you an arm and a leg because let's face it, who has THOUSANDS of dollars to spend. We offer a 30 minute free consultation call so let's start with that!

(2) I have actually hired lawyers, paralegals, law students just like you. My approach is practical, we won't be drawing a tree or making a Venn diagram, we will be coming up with REAL solutions to help you get to where you want to go.

(3) All sessions are remote - stay in your PJs grab a cup of coffee and let's talk. This is a no judgement zone.

(4) Unlike other coaches, I have interviewed thousands (seriously!) of people and met with hiring managers who have told me exactly what they are looking for. I can help you by giving you practical advice that caters to the reality of the legal practice (in-house, in firm, you name it). I have learned a ton as a career legal recruiter through LJX and my professional career.

(5) I care. I have been working on LJX for almost 7 years now with almost no financial gain (a few firms have paid us to help promote job postings but I haven't gotten rich). I care about you, your career and your success. For real.
Hope to have the chance to meet you all soon!
