Experienced Workplace Investigator/Labour

Forte Workplace Law
is looking for an experienced lawyer to join our growing workplace investigations practice.

Our focus is on helping people resolve conflict at work, taking a trauma-informed approach. We act for employees, employers and unions, and also act as neutral investigators, mediators and training facilitators. We are looking for a seasoned workplace investigator who is interested in a mixed practice between workplace investigations and one or more of our other practice areas: labour law, employment law, human rights, mediation and respectful workplace bystander training through StandUP Teams.

Forte Workplace Law lives by its values of
kindness
,
courage
, and
heart
through everyday interactions and relentless innovation.

This position is for you if you value a kind approach to clients and colleagues and a collaborative working environment. We serve our community best by reflecting its diversity. We welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences, and from members of groups that are underrepresented in the legal industry.

Our Ideal Teammate

• You are a lawyer who has conducted at least 10 workplace investigations over the last 5 years, and also has significant experience in one or more of our other practice areas (labour law, employment law, human rights, workplace investigations, mediation and respectful workplace training.)
• You are open to respectful feedback and have a commitment to continuous learning.
• To fit in here, you need to be a "people person" (introvert or extrovert is fine) with high emotional intelligence and a fundamental respect for coworkers, clients, and other members of our communities.

Your Skills

To excel in this role, you should have:

• A collaborative approach, valuing input of others when developing legal strategies and solutions.
• Experience interacting inclusively with a diverse population with cultural humility.
• A self-directed approach, with excellent time management and file management skills
• Excellent communication skills, written and verbal.
• Proficiency with legal research tools.
• Solid tech skills, including MS Office and experience working with document management systems (NetDocs is an asset) and virtual meeting platforms (MS Teams and Zoom)

Compensation & Location

Assuming full time work, our salary range is $120,000 to $200,000, which can be prorated for part time, plus bonus eligibility.

Forte Law's main office is in South Surrey. We have proven, flexible work arrangements including hybrid and remote work. We also provide group benefits coverage, professional development funding, and other perks like firm wide retreats and a well stocked snack drawer.

What to Expect from Us

• Equity & Respect.
  We value each team member's contributions and have a culture of autonomy and collaboration.
• Community & Giving.
  We support our team to give back through volunteer work.
• Inclusion.
  We are committed to making our practice inclusive, equitable, and accessible - for our team and also for our clients and those impacted by and involved in our work.
• Sustainable work.
  We believe that lawyers should have control over their practices and their lives. It is life-work balance here, not work-life. We do our best work for our clients when we can decide how much work to take on, and what type of files will be our focus.
• Flexibility.
  We have lawyers working successfully in a variety of arrangements – full-time, part-time, and remote work are all proven options. Our lawyers set their own schedules.
