Senior Corporate / Commercial Solicitors Multiple Opportunities Location: Vancouver, BC Experience: 5+ Years Position Type: Full-Time, Permanent The Opportunities I am working with multiple highly regarded Vancouver business law firms seeking experienced Corporate / Commercial Solicitors to join established transactional practices.

These opportunities are particularly well suited to experienced lawyers who have developed strong client relationships, enjoy working autonomously, and are looking for a platform where they can continue growing their practice without sacrificing sophisticated work or collegiality.

The specific practice mix varies by firm, with current needs concentrated in corporate/commercial transactions, commercial lending and finance, commercial real estate, M&A;, and related business law matters .

Opportunity #1 Corporate / Commercial Solicitor Experience: 510+ Years Portable Business: Partial book of business required/preferred A growing mid-market business law platform is seeking an entrepreneurial solicitor to help expand its Vancouver corporate and commercial practice.

The successful candidate will bring experience in several of the following: Corporate and commercial transactions Banking and finance Commercial real estate Mergers and acquisitions Franchise matters Corporate reorganizations and tax-related transactions General business advisory work The firm has existing workflow available, but this opportunity is best suited to a lawyer with a partial portable book of business who wants to continue building their practice.





Why Consider This Opportunity? Entrepreneurial environment with significant autonomy Existing work to complement your portable practice Growing national platform International and cross-border collaboration opportunities Lean local team with meaningful opportunity to influence the growth of the Vancouver practice Flexible career pathways for experienced lawyers Opportunity #2 Corporate / Commercial Lending Solicitor Experience: 5+ Years Portable Business: Partial book required Primary Focus: Commercial Lending / Financial Institutions A respected Vancouver business law firm is seeking an experienced solicitor with a strong background in commercial lending and secured finance , ideally including experience representing financial institutions.

The successful candidate may also have complementary corporate/commercial or commercial real estate experience.

Relevant experience may include: Acting for institutional and private lenders Commercial loan and financing transactions Loan and security documentation Mortgages and secured lines of credit Construction and development financing Mezzanine and secondary financing Interlender arrangements Guarantees PPSA matters and registrations Commercial real estate transactions General corporate and commercial matters This opportunity is particularly attractive for a lawyer who enjoys sophisticated business law work but prefers a nimble, relationship-driven firm environment over a highly institutionalized large-firm structure.

Why Consider This Opportunity? Established business law practice Strong commercial lending and real estate capabilities Sophisticated lender and borrower-side transactions Small,



experienced team with direct access to senior lawyers Meaningful autonomy and client responsibility Opportunity to bring and grow an existing client base Collegial environment with limited bureaucracy What I Am Looking For Across these searches, the strongest candidates will generally bring: 5+ years of relevant solicitor-side experience Active membership in positive standing with the Law Society of British Columbia Strong transactional drafting and negotiation skills Ability to independently manage sophisticated client matters Excellent business judgment and client relationship skills Interest in business development and long-term practice growth A partial portable practice, particularly for the more senior opportunities Confidentiality These are separate opportunities with different firms, cultures, economics, and practice needs.

Candidates do not need to fit both profiles.

If you are an experienced Vancouver solicitor considering a move, I would be happy to discuss which opportunity may align best with your practice, client base, and longer-term goals.

All conversations and submissions will be handled confidentially.
