At least 58 students hired in the Calgary Summer 2025 1L Recruit.
Ultra Vires reached out to a total of 22 employers that participated in the official 2025 Calgary 1L recruit this year. At the time of publication, 15 employers had responded and disclosed their recruit numbers to UV.
Based on reports from participating employers, at least 58 students secured a 1L summer position through the recruit—a notably higher number than the 30 2L students reported to have secured a position in the 2025 Calgary 2L recruit. Of the firms that responded, Bennett Jones LLP (“Bennett Jones”) and Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (“BLG”) hired the highest number of students, with eight students each. Following Bennett Jones and BLG, Dentons Canada LLP hired six students and Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP and Burnet Duckworth & Palmer LLP hired five students each.
The University of Calgary, like in the 2025 Calgary 2L Recruit, was the most successful in this recruit by far, with 30 students (making up 51.7% of the total number of students hired through the recruit) securing 1L summer positions.
