This summer Burchells welcomed recent Citadel High School graduate Leandré Govindsamy to the firm as the successful candidate for the 2014 Burchells Scholarship and Internship program.
Leandré and her family arrived in Canada from South Africa 14 years ago, "with four suitcases and big dreams." Not only an affable and self-possessed young woman, she was a great success at Citadel High in Halifax.
In her time with us this summer Leandré got exposure to all aspects of the operation, including both the inner-workings of a law office and the legal work we do for our clients every day. She was a joy to have in the office.
In a week she starts at Dalhousie, applying her Burchells scholarship money to the Bachelor of Arts program. We wish her the very best in her studies and on the successful career ahead of her. Congratulations Leandré!
