A respected and well-established litigation boutique located in downtown Vancouver is seeking a Senior Associate to join its growing Family Law group. With over three decades of excellence in advocacy and client service, the firm offers a collaborative, high-performing environment where senior practitioners are empowered to lead and grow their practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior family lawyer who thrives in a dynamic, client-focused setting. While a portable book of business is an asset, it is not a requirement for consideration. The successful candidate will work on a broad range of complex family matters, including parenting, support, asset division, and agreements, and must demonstrate a high level of professionalism, independence, and integrity.

Key Responsibilities

• Represent clients in family law proceedings including mediations, chambers, and trials.
• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide array of family law documents and agreements.
• Conduct legal research and deliver clear, strategic legal advice.
• Manage a varied caseload independently from intake through resolution.
• Collaborate with colleagues on strategy, mentorship, and team support.
• Maintain strong client relationships with a commitment to responsiveness and results.
  
  

Qualifications

• Juris Doctor (JD) or equivalent from a recognized law school.
• Member in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia.
• Minimum 8 years' experience practicing family law.
• Proven family law litigation experience and strong courtroom advocacy skills.
• Excellent written and oral communication abilities.
• Demonstrated organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
• A client-focused approach grounded in empathy, integrity, and discretion.
  
  

Compensation

The firm offers flexible and competitive compensation options, including a salary or fee-split model, tailored to align with the candidate's experience, goals, and business development preferences. Partner-level may be considered for high caliber candidates. Hybrid working arrangements are also available.

Application Process: To apply, please submit transcripts and resume by email, confidentially to [e-mail] or call 986-999-4419.

Only those shortlisted for an interview will be contacted.
