Description
Hamilton Duncan is the Fraser Valley’s pre-eminent law firm. We are a full-service firm located in Surrey, one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, and our team of more than 25 skilled lawyers has been offering high-end legal services to businesses and individuals throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond for more than 65 years.
We are looking for a litigator of 1–3 years to join our civil and commercial litigation group, which handles a broad range of contentious and complex matters, including business ownership disputes and other general commercial litigation matters, real estate litigation, employment and human rights cases, construction disputes, debt collection matters and more.
Practical Experience
Are you tired of toiling away on endless document review and legal research for others without developing the rest of your skillset through hands-on experience? That’s not our model.
- Actual responsibility for the management of files from start to finish;
- Develop your own litigation strategies (with guidance from senior counsel);
- Meaningful contributions to files even when working with more senior counsel; and
- Conduct of discoveries and court hearings.
Build a Practice
Do you want to work towards building something you can call your own? Let's make it a reality.
- Practice in the fastest-growing city in BC and its next major urban centre;
- Build lasting relationships through direct client interaction;
- Encouragement and support to develop your own client base; and
- Nearly limitless opportunities for networking and community involvement.
Our Firm
Let’s face it: colleagues, culture, location and cost of living all matter. We get it, because those are our priorities too.
- Lower targets than Big Law;
- Collegial culture that actually espouses work-life balance;
- Compensation structures that incentivize initiative, effort and ownership;
- No more commuting to downtown; and
- Far more affordable living than Vancouver.
$103,000 to $125,000 depending on year of call and previous experience, premised on annual billable hours of 1,500.
