Poole Lawyers is a litigation firm focused on complex litigation and professional negligence claims. We are a small, deliberately chosen team. People who work together because they believe in the work, share common values, and enjoy tackling hard problems side by side.

Four principles guide how we practice:

- Compassionate. A culture of understanding and respect for our clients.
- Consistent. The same high-quality representation no matter who acts on a file.
- Collaborative. A team-based approach in everything we do.
- Concise. Counsel that is clear, direct, and to the point.

The prospect

We are looking for an associate who shares those values and wants to build a litigation practice with real mentorship behind them. This is a hands-on role. You will be drafting, researching, and getting on your feet in chambers alongside lawyers invested in your growth.

You will:

- Draft pleadings, applications, and related court documents
- Research a wide range of legal topics
- Attend and advocate at chambers applications
- Meet with clients and begin building your own relationships




- Collaborate with the firm's lawyers on file-related work
- Support questioning, mediations, arbitrations, and trials

What we are looking for

- Member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
- A genuine interest in litigation, with the energy and ambition to build a practice
- Excellent writing, research, and communication skills
- Strong organization and time management. Able to juggle multiple files and deadlines calmly
- Detail-oriented, autonomous, and client-focused
- Comfortable with MS Office and Westlaw
- Interested in the business of law, and in having a life outside the office

An existing practice or portable files are an asset, but not a requirement.

What we offer

- Market salary, negotiable based on experience, with flexible health spending account.
- A culture that actively protects work-life balance
- Genuine mentorship and collaboration
- A low-overhead, attractive, technologically forward office
- Meaningful work with real purpose
- Really good coffee
