Practising in Calgary ROY HUDSON, Davis LLP
+ PROS:
• Th e growing source of international work based in Calgary provides opportunities for both interesting inter-jurisdiction- al work and mobility. • Th e mostly robust economic environment leads to signifi - cant work for lawyers. • Th e entrepreneurial culture provides great opportunity for young lawyers to build their own practice. • Signifi cant head offi ce presence provides in-house opportu- nities second to none in Canada.
- CONS:
• Th e competitive, driven atmosphere is not for everybody. • While you hear talk of diversifi cation, Calgary is still the city that oil and gas built and most of the legal work is created by that engine. • Calgary is a great city, but let's face it, nobody moves here for the weather.
