Build Your Practice on a Proven Platform
Pax Law Corporation is an established, multi-jurisdictional law firm headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia. We provide a fully operational, compliance-driven legal platform for experienced lawyers who wish to practise independently while benefiting from institutional infrastructure, established goodwill, and centralized administrative systems.
This is not an employment position. We engage lawyers strictly as independent contractors operating through the Firm’s platform.
If you are entrepreneurial, self-directed, and committed to professional excellence, this opportunity allows you to grow your practice within a structured and compliant framework.
Our Platform Pax Law provides, at its own operational cost and risk:
Fully equipped office premises
Practice management and billing systems
Trust accounting infrastructure
Compliance protocols and regulatory oversight
Administrative and intake staff
Legal assistants and paralegal support
Marketing and client acquisition systems
Technology, cybersecurity, and cloud-based file management
Centralized management and risk controls
The Firm underwent a Law Society compliance audit in the second half of 2025, confirming that its operations, trust accounting, and practice management systems were in good order, subject only to minor and non-material observations.
Maintaining this level of compliance requires sustained investment and oversight, which the Firm continuously bears.
Nature of the Relationship Lawyers engaged with Pax Law:
Operate as independent contractors
Are not employees, partners, or dependent contractors
Maintain professional independence in handling their files




Control the manner, means, and location of their work (subject to client needs and regulatory rules)
Bear the full risk of profit and loss associated with their practice
There is no salary, draw, guaranteed income, vacation pay, benefits, or bonus structure.
Compensation is strictly percentage-based.
Contractors are compensated solely through a percentage of Net Collected Billings.
Net Collected Billings means funds actually received by the Firm for the Contractor’s billable legal services after all disbursements, overhead, administrative expenses, write-offs, chargebacks, refunds, and applicable taxes have been fully recovered.
There is no fee split on:
• Invoices issued
Fee split is calculated semi-monthly as follows:
• 50% where Net Collected Billings are under $5,000
• 60% where Net Collected Billings are $5,000 to under $10,000
• 65% where Net Collected Billings are $10,000 or more
This structure reflects the substantial infrastructure, operational costs, regulatory compliance systems, and business risk borne by the Firm.
Mandatory Overhead Recovery All overhead, administrative, staffing, compliance, and technology costs attributable to Contractor files must be properly recorded, billed to clients, and recovered prior to any fee split.




Contractors have an affirmative obligation to ensure expenses are correctly billed.
The Firm may adjust, correct, or recover unbilled or underbilled overhead from:
Client trust funds
Accounts receivable
Contractor distributions
This ensures regulatory compliance, financial transparency, and institutional sustainability.
Jurisdictional Scope The Firm operates in:

Headquarters, governance, billing, accounting, and trust administration remain in British Columbia.

Maintain positive standing with their applicable Law Society
Carry required professional liability insurance
Comply with all regulatory and ethical obligations

Contractors agree to indemnify the Firm in accordance with the Independent Lawyer Services Agreement.
