Benefits
Students are an equally valuable member of the RBS team. While you are working hard to learn new procedures and various areas of law, there are some things you shouldn't have to worry about. Below is a list of the current benefits offered to members of our firm. Should you still have questions or think we may have missed something, send us a note at student@rbs.ca and we'll look into it. In addition to benefits, student salaries are also a concern in making your decision to join us. Our salaries are updated annually and are comparable with the "going rate" for downtown Vancouver firms. Due to the shorter term of employment offered to summer students, some benefits are not available. However, those students returning to RBS for articles receive payment of third year tuition fees to a maximum of $5,000.
