A big congratulations to team members Lucas Darke and Holly Faulkner who were successful on the September 2025 Common Final Exam (CFE). Lucas was named to the National Honor Roll which consists of the top approximately 1% of writers.
Holly completed two co-op terms before joining the firm full time in 2022. Lucas also joined the firm full time in 2022. Both completed articling together at SSK prior to writing the CFE.
We look forward to seeing their careers progress with SSK.
