Firm Transparency Index

How much of what a student needs to know does each firm make public? We checked 15 data points on 34 Toronto firms: what they do, how they hire, what the job is like and who works there. A firm's score is the share of those points it publishes.

How the score works

A point counts as published when we found a real value for it in public sources, checked as of October 2026. It doesn't matter whether the number is flattering. A firm that says it sets no billing target for students has published that.

Six items are left out because the recruit's own rules set them for every firm: the recruit cycle, LSO Call Day, interview week, offer date, callback turnaround and application deadline.

A missing point means we couldn't find a public source. It doesn't mean the firm has no policy, only that a student can't read it before applying. Firms differ a lot in size, so read a score alongside the firm's class size on its page.

Work at one of these firms, or know of a source we missed? Write to us at info@jurishub.ca and we'll update the record.
