Job description

Associate Lawyer – Personal Injury / Civil Litigation – Alberta

Preszler Injury Lawyers

Preszler Injury Lawyers is seeking an intermediate or senior associate lawyer to join our team. This is a full‑time role focused on personal injury and civil litigation based out of Alberta.

This role is ideal for a lawyer with a strong commitment to access to justice. Our work often involves representing individuals against large institutions and insurers, ensuring that legal advocacy is available to everyone, regardless of their financial resources.

As a personal injury firm, we sue large corporations on behalf of people who generally lack power. Our goal is to provide legal services that only the wealthiest people can afford to anyone regardless of their ability to pay. We consider our practice as more of a calling than a job and are looking for a lawyer who shares that same mindset.

About the Role

As an associate lawyer at Preszler, you will be responsible for managing a full case load in a wide range of complex personal injury and civil litigation matters. This includes:

• Car accident claims
• Premises liability claims
• Historical sexual assault claims
• Institutional abuse claims
• Medical malpractice claims
• Product liability claims
• Class actions

Preszler has a well‑developed trial and litigation team with lawyers of all seniority levels. Mentorship opportunities at trial and otherwise are provided to all associates.

The firm does not expect associates to bring work into the firm; each associate is provided with a full practice.

Preszler is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from all eligible candidates, including those traditionally underrepresented in the legal field.

What We Offer

• A full practice upon hire; no expectation to bring your own clients.
• Competitive compensation, extended health and dental benefits, and commission on settled files.
• Regular court appearances, trial work, mediations, and discoveries.
• Strong culture of mentorship and collaboration across seniority levels.
• A national platform.
• Hybrid work arrangements.

Qualifications

• Member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
• 5+ years of experience in personal injury or civil litigation.
• Demonstrated commitment to advocacy, social justice, or plaintiff‑side litigation.
• Strong legal research, drafting, and advocacy skills.
• Proven ability to manage files independently while working as part of a team.
• Resilience and client‑centred communication skills.

Location

This position is based out of our Calgary office:

#1160 – 1122 4th Street SW
