  • excellent legal mind;

  • exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities;

  • fully bilingual (English and French);

  • consummate team player;

  • commitment to excellence; and

  • strong communication and drafting skills.

The successful candidates will have the opportunity to develop their career and skills as part of a growing practice and office that fosters an entrepreneurial spirit—with freedom and flexibility—as well as ongoing support through training and mentoring to ensure a rapid professional development. Our firm offers a collegial work environment, exceptional work-life balance, competitive compensation package and robust platform for success.

All offers of employment are conditional upon the satisfactory verification of a Canadian criminal record check. Determination of the factors that constitute satisfactory verification is within the sole discretion of Bennett Jones.
