  • Achieving both billable and non-billable targets, contributing to the firm’s overall performance and success.
  • Provide leadership and mentorship within the team, fostering a collaborative environment and supporting the development of junior colleagues.
What will help you succeed in this role?:
  • Licensed to practice law in Canada and a Member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
  • 2 – 5 years of experience in construction litigation, property and professional indemnity claims and general insurance matters, demonstrating a solid foundation in relevant legal practices.
  • Exceptional proficiency in English, with strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Demonstrable organizational skills and the ability to work effectively within a team, maintaining professionalism in all interactions.

  • Flexible health and dental coverage.
  • Long term disability insurance.
