| What are the advantages of working in a medium-sized firm? | |
| “A medium-sized firm is small enough that everyone gets a chance to know one another, and the variety of work available generally is not isolated to working on the same type of files/clients day in and day out; but, is large enough to have a variety of specialized knowledge within the firm available as a great resource for learning and for assisting with performing daily tasks.” -- Karen | |
| |
| “A medium-sized firm like GGFL offers the opportunity to work on a wide variety of client files. Each client has its own issues and challenges but it makes for an interesting work day. Given the size of the firm, staff are involved in all aspects of the file and really see it through from start to finish.” -- Jean |  |
| | |

| “I’ve worked in many different industry sectors, including residential construction, not-for-profit, medical professionals, and many diverse small businesses.” -- Julia |  |
| "I am able to work on files for a wide range of clients. I’ve gained experience with everything from small, sole-proprietorship businesses, to partnerships, co-tenancies, and larger organizations with more complex, inter-company relationships. I was also exposed to a wide range of industries, including property management, construction, consulting, and other small businesses, including restaurants and family-owned retail stores.” -- Brian |  |
| | |
| What type of ongoing training and support is provided by GGFL? | |
