Our downtown Edmonton office is looking for an experienced legal professional to work directly with a Partner and take a senior role in the day-to-day management of a busy family law litigation practice.
This is not a traditional legal assistant position.
We are looking for someone who can take ownership of a practice: manage files and deadlines, coordinate litigation matters, prepare and organize court materials, manage correspondence and scheduling, communicate confidently with clients and opposing offices, and keep a high-volume practice moving efficiently.
The ideal candidate will have robust family law litigation experience, exceptional organization and judgment, and the ability to work independently with a Partner who handles complex and demanding files.
The role would be well suited to someone who:
- has significant experience in family law litigation;
- understands Alberta court procedures and litigation deadlines;
- is exceptionally organized and proactive;
- can anticipate what needs to happen next rather than waiting for instructions;
- is comfortable managing a large and active file load;
- communicates professionally and confidently with clients, counsel and the courts; and
- wants a position with real responsibility, autonomy and long-term growth.
This person will become an integral part of the Partner’s practice and will be treated accordingly.
Compensation will be competitive and commensurate with experience, with a strong package available for the right candidate.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced family law legal assistant who is ready for a more senior role, greater autonomy and a position where their contribution is genuinely important to the success of the practice.
All inquiries will be treated confidentially.
- Interested candidates can message me directly on LinkedIn or submit their résumé confidentially to
[email protected].
