Overview & About

About Miller Thomson LLP

Miller Thomson LLP is a national full-service business law firm headquartered in Toronto, with additional offices in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and Waterloo. Per its NALP Canada filing, Business/Commercial Law is its largest Toronto practice group by headcount (39 lawyers), followed by Litigation (32) and Tax/Private Client/Pensions/Charities (25); Chambers Canada ranks the firm's Charities & Nonprofits practice #1 nationally. The Toronto/Vaughan 2L summer program is explicitly non-rotational — students choose assignments across corporate, litigation, real estate, administrative specialties, and tax rather than following a formal rotation, and the firm states it does not impose set billable-hour targets on students. The firm runs a separate, targeted 1L Indigenous Summer Student Program rather than a general 1L OCI recruit.
