Toronto firms that give an articling bonus

[Xyz123]

Which Toronto firms give a bonus to students returning to article? I only know of Bennett Jones and am wondering if anyone knows of other firms that also do so.

Singleton Reynolds in Toronto is another.

My understanding is that most of the large Bay Street corporate firms used to do this, but then got rid of it when they raised salaries from $1700/week to $1900/week (so it wasn't really a "raise" so much as a restructuring of how the money is paid out). The major players on Bay tend to decide these things as a group, so you probably won't find too many firms doing this anymore.

I'm out of the loop. Were articling bonuses ~$9k?

In markets like Vancouver, they give summer students bonuses for agreeing to article with the firm upon graduation.

Sorry, misread your last question. Ranges from $6000-10,000 for big law.

Calgary too, depending on the firm

Are they still doing this after the recent summer/articling raise ?

I haven't heard otherwise so I assume the bonus is still in place.
