Job description

Our client, a leading business law firm with offices across Canada and around the world, is investing in the growth of its Vancouver commercial litigation practice. As part of a broader strategic expansion across several core business law groups, the firm is seeking an ambitious associate with four to seven years of call who wants to build a thriving practice and progress toward partnership.

This opportunity will appeal to a lawyer who combines strong litigation skills with an entrepreneurial outlook. The firm’s established reputation, national and international reach, and depth of business law expertise provide a compelling platform for developing client relationships and growing a practice. For someone ready to take the next step, this is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the Vancouver group’s expansion while advancing their own career.

The successful candidate will bring substantive commercial litigation experience, sound judgment and a practical understanding of clients’ business objectives. Strong advocacy, analytical and drafting skills are essential, together with the ability to manage matters with increasing independence and work effectively with colleagues. An interest in business development—and the drive to turn that interest into lasting client relationships—will be central to success.

Whether you have begun building your own client base or are ready to make that a greater focus, we would welcome a confidential discussion about how this opportunity could support your ambitions.
