This Opportunity:

We’re looking for a commercial litigator who enjoys property and business disputes.

Real Estate. Construction. Strata. Development conflicts. Builders liens. Commercial leases. Bonus points for shareholder disputes. Many of clients are doing exciting things in the Fraser Valley and beyond. If these files interest you, we should talk.

You will be trusted to run files and exercise judgment. Ideally you are comfortable in chambers and have conducted at least one trial in Supreme Court, but what matters most is your ability to move a matter forward strategically and confidently.

You also can’t groan at those delightful scheduling emails on construction matters. At least not audibly.

WHO WE THINK WILL BE SUCCESSFUL:

This role tends to work well for someone who:

• enjoys the practical side of property-related litigation
• likes having ownership over files
• wants autonomy without being isolated

We anticipate to be successful, you will likely have been called to the bar for 3+ years, although years of call matter less to us than judgment, initiative and the ability to move a file forward.

A Little About Us:

We’re a full-service firm in the Fraser Valley, practicing out of the same building in Abbotsford since 1971 and expanding to Langley in 2023.

For generations, we’ve supported families, businesses, and individuals across the region. Our lawyers are known for legal excellence paired with a human approach, and we’re proud to be one of the most trusted and respected firms in the Fraser Valley.

You’ll be joining a group of litigators, solicitors, and support staff who are generous with their knowledge and genuinely supportive of one another. Our culture is built on trust, autonomy, and flexibility, giving lawyers the space to grow their practices while also having support when they need it.

What that looks like in practice:

• Collaborative Growth: colleagues who share files, knowledge, and opportunities
• Real Responsibility: you’ll run files and work directly with clients
• Support Without Micromanagement: guidance is there when needed
• Flexibility That Works: In-office, or a hybrid blend, we trust our lawyers to meet their professional obligations and build strong client relationships
• Future-Focused Leadership: we embrace technology and better ways of working

We also strongly believe in having the right work on the right desk. Our lawyers focus on legal strategy and advocacy, while our capable assistants ensure files move efficiently and clients stay informed.

Diversity and Inclusion:

We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong. Our team reflects the diverse communities we serve, and we believe our different perspectives only make us stronger. You’ll be joining a firm that’s not only inclusive but genuinely welcoming.

Compensation:

We offer flexible compensation structures designed to meet you where you’re at, from salary to fee split, or a blend of base plus commission. Let’s talk about what works for you and your goals. We also offer extended health and dental benefits, as well as parental leave and some other perks. 

Interested?
