Why Articling at Bianchi Presta LLP is Your Career-Defining Opportunity

Posted by: Matthew D. Presta

Let’s be honest: articling isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s where theory meets practice, and only those with the grit, work ethic, and passion to rise above the rest will thrive. At Bianchi Presta LLP, we’re privileged to receive countless applications each year for our articling program—but not everyone has what it takes to earn a spot.

This isn’t a 9-to-5 job. This is private practice. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, work hard, and embrace the challenges of a real-world legal career, keep reading. If you’re not, this probably isn’t the place for you.

What Makes Articling at Bianchi Presta Different?

At Bianchi Presta, articling isn’t just a stepping stone—it’s the foundation of your future. We’re not here to hand out experience. We’re here to help you earn it.

  • Hands-On Responsibility from Day One: You’ll be working on real cases, managing files, and interacting with clients—not sitting on the sidelines. Expect to be challenged, expect to learn, and expect to grow.
  • Diverse Practice Areas: We’ll expose you to a range of legal fields, including Business Law, Real Estate, Construction Law, Litigation, and Wills, Trusts & Estates. By the time you’re done, you’ll have a clearer sense of where your strengths and passions lie.
  • Unparalleled Mentorship: Our partners and senior lawyers aren’t just leaders—they’re teachers. You’ll receive constructive feedback, career-shaping advice, and guidance that goes beyond the job.

This Is Not a 9-to-5 Job

Private practice demands dedication, perseverance, and stamina. At Bianchi Presta, we expect our articling students to bring their A-game every single day.

  • Rise and Shine: Success doesn’t come from clocking in and out—it comes from rolling up your sleeves and getting the job done, no matter what it takes. If you’re looking for a cushy 9-to-5, this isn’t the firm for you.
  • Work Ethic Is Non-Negotiable: We expect you to take ownership of your work, meet deadlines, and exceed expectations. This isn’t about coasting—it’s about excelling.
  • The World of Private Practice: Clients depend on us, and we depend on you. That means being ready to adapt, think on your feet, and push through challenges with confidence.

Let’s Talk About Pay

We know what you’re thinking: “What’s the compensation like?” Let’s clear that up right now.

  • We’re Not Downtown Firms: If you’re expecting downtown-level salaries while you’re still learning, think again. At Bianchi Presta, we invest in teaching you how to excel in private practice.
  • Competitive Pay, Commensurate with Experience: Our compensation reflects your relevant experience and educational background. Earning top dollars is something you work toward—it’s not a gift.
  • A Long-Term Investment: Think of this program as an investment in your future. What you’ll gain in skills, knowledge, and mentorship will far outweigh any short-term considerations.

What It Takes to Succeed Here

We’ll say it again: not everyone is cut out for this program. But if you’ve got what it takes, you’ll find a home at Bianchi Presta LLP. Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Relentless Work Ethic: You don’t stop when you’re tired—you stop when the work is done.
  • Adaptability: Law is unpredictable, and so are our days. You thrive in fast-paced, ever-changing environments.
  • Client-Centric Mindset: Every task you take on impacts real people. You’re dedicated to delivering results that matter.
  • Curiosity: You’re hungry to learn, eager to grow, and unafraid to ask questions.
