We are a leading national law firm that provides excellent legal services to Indigenous communities, governments, and businesses, advancing transformative change in an era of reconciliation and decolonization.

We have a strong commitment to our work culture that prioritizes our meaningful work and values of collaboration, excellence, respect, accountability, trust, and ethics.

**Our team is in search of an Associate (3-5 year call) to join our Business and Economic Development practice group.**

**Role Overview**:
The position is full-time and based in Victoria, BC. Our lawyers are sometimes required to travel to Indigenous communities throughout Canada.

**Qualifications**:

- A lawyer of a 3-5-year call.

- Strong research, legal drafting, and analytical skills are a must.
- Experience communicating complex legal concepts and demonstrated experience in Aboriginal, Constitutional and Corporate/Commercial, including familiarity with impact benefit agreements.

Woodward is committed to upholding the values of equity, diversity, inclusion and human rights in our legal services and work environments. We know that our diversity strengthens Woodward values for collaboration, excellence, respect, accountability, trust, and ethics, and that we all share responsibility for creating an equitable, diverse, inclusive, and collaborative workplace.
