Confidential Search by GPAC

Are you a courtroom powerhouse ready for your next high-stakes challenge?

GPAC is partnering with a top-tier litigation firm renowned for its precedent-setting victories—including at the Supreme Court of Canada—to recruit a Senior Family Lawyer for their Calgary office.

This firm is a national leader in high-net-worth family law and is looking for a senior-level practitioner—or an entire team—who thrives in complex litigation and is energized by bold, strategic advocacy.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Established Infrastructure: Step into a fully operational Calgary office (Regus space + dedicated Legal Assistant).
• Leadership Opportunity: Openings created by recent departures offer the chance to lead and shape a new team.
• Elite Firm Culture: Join a firm known for impact—locally and nationally—with a high-performance, no-limits approach.
• Flexible Onboarding: Open to hiring individuals or full teams (senior / junior / paralegal combos encouraged).
• Work Style: In-office or hybrid work arrangements are available.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 15+ years of experience in family law, with a proven track record in complex, high-value files (e.g., $50M+ in property division, $5M+ / year income files).
• Skilled in litigation, with additional ADR (mediation / arbitration) experience a strong asset.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop junior lawyers.
• Thrives in a high-performance, fast-paced, and ambitious culture.
• Client base is welcome but not required.

Compensation & Culture

• Competitive and negotiable salary and billable rate structure.
• Access to national marketing and branding resources.
• Rewarding and unapologetically driven work environment—built for top performers.
• A rare opportunity to lead, grow, and make a lasting impact in family law.
