Our hiring is done by lawyers with full-time litigation practices. We run a streamlined process focused on ensuring we hire the best people for the positions that are available. Applications can be submitted through the VI Portal or by email to careers@guildyule.com.
Your application package should consist of a cover letter, CV and undergraduate and law school transcripts. Reference letters, writing samples and lists of anticipated upper year courses are optional. In preparing your application package, bear in mind that we receive hundreds of applications each year. This is your first chance to emphasize the experiences, activities, employment, volunteering, and other aspects of your life that set you apart from your peers and to tell us why you are interested in a future at Guild Yule.
If you are selected for an interview, we will spend a considerable amount of time finding out about you and how you might fit in with us. This might take place over more than one meeting. We will take that opportunity to show you around the firm, to introduce you to the lawyers and staff, and to answer whatever questions you need answering to make an informed decision about where you will begin your career. We do not typically host breakfasts, dinners, wine and cheeses, or other similar events during interview week.
