Description
Citadel Law Corporation (“CLC”) is a small and close-knit law firm with its head office in Vancouver. We are seeking a lawyer with the personality and skill set that fits with our team dynamic and style of practice.
Who We Are
We operate differently to most law firms. Many law firms focus only on the law – we focus on the law and the business of law. That ensures we excel not only in our chosen areas of practice but operate our business in a flexible and adaptive manner. If you are looking for something other than a traditional law firm setting/structure, then this position could be for you.
CLC’s main practice areas include real property litigation, strata property law, residential tenancy, insurance defense and general commercial litigation.
We are primarily a litigation firm – we operate in all levels of BC Courts and numerous tribunals including the Civil Resolution Tribunal, Residential Tenancy Board, Human Rights Tribunal and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, amongst others.
We hire primarily on a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit.
What We Need
- A member in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia with a minimum of 1-3 years experience practicing law in BC;
- Entrepreneurial approach/attitude;
- Dedicated, driven and comfortable practicing in new areas of law with a willingness to learn;
- Strong problem solving, time management, and prioritization skills;
- Excellent writing/communication skills;
- Able to take direction and work independently with little or no supervision;
- Work as a member of the CLC team, be proactive and ask for assistance as required;
- Ability to adapt and be flexible; and
- Comfortable in a faced paced, high-volume practice.
What We Offer
- Competitive remuneration based on skill level and experience;
- Discretionary bonuses;
- Option to join CLC as associate counsel: compensation would be a percentage of fees collected and you would get the benefits of operating your own law corporation;
- We provide files/work and will include you in CLC’s marketing/networking efforts;
- Mentoring is available for those new to these areas of law;
- Extended medical/dental benefits;
- Staff dinners/outings; and
- Potential to work remotely.
*Please DO NOT apply unless you are currently able to practice in BC and have at least 1 year of experience.
**Please DO NOT apply unless you are willing to practice in the areas we have noted above. Although we support and encourage lawyers to develop their practice in areas they are interested in, we still primarily operate in the practice areas noted above and all new lawyers will be required to be, or become, proficient in all of these.
***Thank you to all who apply, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
