Senior Family Lawyer - High-Net-Worth Litigation | Calgary, AB

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 that's 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.
• ($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 the family law space.
