Preszler Injury Lawyers is seeking an intermediate or senior associate lawyer to join our national team. This is a full-time role focused on personal injury and civil litigation tha t can be based out of British Columbia, Ontario or 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.

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, and 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.

Only successful applicants will be contacted for interviews.

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.

·A national platform.

·Hybrid work arrangements.

Qualifications

·Member in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia.
