“After meeting so many incredible people and hearing their experiences at the firm, I was absolutely elated and excited to start work with McInnes Cooper. Reflecting on my summer there, I realize that my experiences defied even my most hopeful of expectations. McInnes Cooper is a firm where people take pride in what they do. Respect, teamwork, and active participation are more than just inviting buzzwords: they are real ideals practised every day by everyone you meet at McInnes Cooper. The individual attention and scope of responsibility my mentors offered me allowed me to really gain hands-on exposure to many different areas of the firm’s practice. Not only did I gain tremendous training, but I also further developed my own strengths both professionally and personally and was encouraged to share them. Best of all, I left the firm realizing that it is absolutely the kind of place where I envision myself dedicating my career, with exactly the kind of people with whom I want to build that career.”
