Vision Law Group is a small but growing Edmonton-based firm providing full-service legal representation to individuals, families, and businesses. Our practice spans all areas of law including but not limited to civil litigation, criminal law, family law, real estate, and immigration matters.

We welcome and celebrate candidates from all backgrounds and are committed to building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve.

THE ROLE
We are looking for a motivated and organized Legal Assistant Paralegal to support our litigation team. You will work closely with lawyers on active files, help keep matters moving forward, and play a key role in ensuring clients receive timely and professional service. This is a great opportunity for someone who takes pride in their work, thrives in a quick-paced environment, and wants to be part of a growing firm. We are looking for someone to start in mid-October 2026 or November 2026. This is a full-time position.

You anticipate what needs to happen next on a file and you make it happen. You are a quick learner who picks up new areas, processes, and systems without much hand-holding. You communicate clearly and professionally with clients and you understand that in a small firm, every person on the team matters.
