Join Robertson Stromberg in cheering on articling student Kane Fritzler on the new season of Survivor

Robertson Stromberg is delighted to share that our articling student Kane Fritzler has a new experience to add to his resume – Survivor Season 44 contestant!

Shortly after graduating from law school in spring 2022, Kane embarked on an entirely different type of adventure – flying to the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji to participate in and film the latest season of Survivor, which airs March 1, 2023.

Says Kane “I’d been a big fan of Survivor for as long as I can remember and craved adventure after years of studying – especially since I completed a large chunk of my degree during lockdown. I applied for the show, never thinking in a million years that I’d get chosen. But I was thrilled when I got the call, and the timing was perfect. I was able to film between graduation and starting my new career at Robertson Stromberg.”

Kane excelled in law school, receiving his Juris Doctor with Great Distinction from the University of Saskatchewan in 2022. He was a two-time recipient of the College of Law Academic Achievement Scholarship and was awarded the Law Society of Saskatchewan Bronze Medal for his year.

Says Kirsten Hnatuk, partner at Robertson Stromberg, “People might think reality TV is no big deal. But it takes determination, leadership, social skills, and a strategic mindset to participate in a TV show like Survivor. These are the types of skills we hired Kane for, and we’re excited to see how he utilizes them on the show!”

Although filming wrapped up in the summer of 2022, Kane can’t share how far he made it into the season. But Robertson Stromberg will be following along on the weekly adventure, supporting Kane with viewing parties and an office “Survivor Pool.” Staff will have the chance to place bets on who will win the season, with proceeds going to a charity of Kane’s choice.

Join Robertson Stromberg in cheering on Kane for Survivor Season 44, premiering March 1, 2023, on CBS and Global. Go Kane!
