Lucas Rotino joined Bianchi Presta as a Summer Student after completing his second year of law school. During his first year with the firm, he gained hands-on skills to compliment his legal education. Later, Lucas returned to article with the firm following the completion of his Juris Doctor at Western University’s, Faculty of Law. His academic and professional journey has been marked by a strong commitment to research, excellence and practical legal skills, all of which he brings to his role at the firm.
Before law school, Lucas earned his Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from York University which he used to great effect as a Behaviour Therapist working with children with autism, and as a Crisis Responder with Kids Help Phone and the Crisis Text Line. During his undergraduate studies, he grew interested in the intersection of psychology, behavioural economics, and policy which later guided his decision to pursue a legal career.
While at Western Law, Lucas completed a concentration in the area of Business Law earning himself a formal notation on his transcript.
