- Bennett Jones invests significantly in training and development, providing financial support for offsite training and university courses and seminars, and offering in-house mentoring for legal assistants, legal summer students and articling students
- The firm maintains the Bennett Jones Academy, a formal program to provide students and lawyers with extensive, ongoing legal education to help them earn the required credits to maintain their Law Society membership
