TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Dear Sir or Madam:

Re: Luke Woulfe

I am a partner in the law firm of Bennett Jones LLP.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Luke Woulfe during the summer of 2017. Mr. Woulfe was asummer student with us at that time.

Mr. Woulfe was an energetic and dedicated student. He demonstrated a keen interest in the law andwas hard-working and determined throughout his time at Bennett Jones.

During his stay with us, Luke demonstrated a keen desire to continue working as a lawyer in Canada.I understand that he is now undertaking his studies for his equivalency examinations and thereafterwill be looking for Articles of Clerkship. I would whole-heartedly recommend consideration of Mr.Woulfe for such Articles.

Yours truly,

BEN7 ESL P

Re: Luke Woulfe

Dear Sir or Madam,

Luke worked with us from May 2016 until January 2017. His attendance and time

keeping were both excellent and in fact Luke was always willing to spend a little extra

time here to ensure that his work was up-to-date.

Luke got on very well with people, whether other staff within the office, clients and/or

other business contacts.

Luke had a wide range of duties here, ranging from preparation of briefs, certain banking

duties, legal research, proofing documents, digital file management duties, later drafting

court applications and declarations, and liaising with doctors’ surgeries and Garda

stations in the context of our litigation work. Luke also managed a series of licencing

matters including annual dance licences, public music and singing licences, restaurant

certificates, and certificates of transfer of licences with letter and email correspondence

inclusive.

We found Luke to be committed and reliable and we would have no hesitation in offering

him a position with us here should one become available.

Yours sincerely,

PETER DINEEN
