Associate Lawyer

**PGS LAW**

**Our Company**

We are a boutique law firm located in the heart of historic New Westminster minutes walk away from the New Westminster Supreme and Provincial courts, the SkyTrain, and the River Market. Our lawyers have over 80 years combined experience and we offer services in family law, including child protection litigation, and adoptions. Our lawyers are a diverse team, and are fluent in several different languages including Punjabi, Croatian, Spanish, Hindi, French, and Urdu. We offer monthly continuing legal education workshops and work hard to foster a culture of respect and teamwork.

We believe that being a lawyer is more than just a job. We are passionate about helping people and making a difference in our community. PGS assists both private and Legal Aid clients and many of our lawyers offer pro-bono services at various legal clinics. Our lawyers believe alternative dispute resolution is always preferrable, but also successfully represent clients in courts at all levels across the province.

PGS partners value a reasonable balance between our work and personal lives, and the firm's highly competitive and sought after split fee provides just that as lawyers have flexible working hours and arrangements that are entirely dependent on the schedule each lawyer sets for themselves. There is no shortage of work at our firm but a lawyer's earnings are directly correlated to the hours they choose to work. Lawyers who are working parents, or those who want the flexibility and time to travel or explore their passions and interests outsides of law, will find PGS Law an excellent fit, as will those who wish to maximize their billings and work hours and have full agency over their files and workload.

**Your Application**

This position centers on client service and we are looking for someone who has demonstrated the ability to be ethical, diligent, and focused on providing the best legal solution for clients. Applicants should be open to, and ideally familiar with, alternative dispute resolution processes, but also have a passion for advocating in court.
