Bennett Jones CEO Dominique Hussey offers advice to young lawyers in The Globe and Mail’s November 2024 ROB Magazine. She tells budding legal practitioners:

“The easiest way to impress partners is with impeccable, practical work product, delivered on time. Show that you understood the assignment. Will your work be part of an email to a client or a memorandum for the Court? Go that extra mile to prepare a few point-first, clear, concise paragraphs for the partner to use. Always run your work through a spelling check, a grammar check, and if you have it, a clarity check. Avoidable errors make decent work look bad. Proofing makes decent work look great. Clarity makes great work excellent. Practicality makes excellent work magnificent.”

November’s ROB Magazine includes a guide to corporate law for young lawyers in its coverage of Canada’s Best Law Firms. 

Bennett Jones won the Canada’s Best Law Firms 2025 award in the Energy & Natural Resources (Mining, Oil & Gas) category.
