  • Additional experience in commercial litigation and insolvency is considered a plus.
  • A commercially minded, practical problem solver with strong skills in critical analysis, risk assessment, creative thinking, judgment, and execution that extend beyond legal matters.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a focus on adaptability, eagerness to learn, and a high degree of coachability.
  • Detail-oriented with exceptional problem-solving abilities, demonstrating integrity and discretion.
  • A member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.

Our client is offering the following:

  • In-house legal and business training to foster practical, big-picture thinking while focusing on important details.
  • Opportunities for career growth and advancement, with the potential to evolve beyond a strictly legal role over time, based on performance.
