We are supporting a leading Western Canadian full-service law firm in their search for a Litigation Associate Lawyer to join their team in Bonnyville, Alberta.

About The Law Firm:

• The firm is in an active growth phase and continues to expand its footprint via strategic acquisitions across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.
• Following its recent expansion into the Lakeland region, this law firm stands as one of the largest regional practices in Alberta, boasting 18 offices, approximately 200 total staff, and a multi-province network of over 50 lawyers.
• Full-Service Capabilities: Agriculture | Bankruptcy & Insolvency | Business Law | Civil Litigation | Criminal Law | Employment Law | Family Law | Immigration | Personal Injury | Real Estate | Wills & Estates.
• Core Values: Respect | Integrity | Teamwork | Accountability | Loyalty | Inclusivity & Diversity.
• Work Structure: On-site structure based out of the downtown Bonnyville office. The firm places a high priority on professional autonomy, empowerment, and establishing a genuine work-life balance.
• Team Structure: A collaborative, tight-knit on-site team consisting of 2 local lawyers and 8 dedicated support staff members. The lawyers presently run practices focused on solicitor’s work, business law, tax, estates, and family law.

About The Role: Associate Lawyer - General Litigator

• The Bonnyville practice is looking to add a dedicated General Litigator to the team. As a growing office with an active client base, the firm has been turning away a litigation work meaning the incoming lawyer will step into an immediate, flow of active files.
• Practice Focus: Comfortable managing general civil and commercial litigation matters independently, with the support of a highly experienced local clerk and assistant team.
• Book of Business: A personal book of business is always welcome but certainly not required. The local market has an abundance of existing files, and additional litigation work can be drawn from other regional offices if the incoming lawyer is looking for additional files to work on as the Bonnyville location ramps up the litigation practice.
• Billable Target: 1,320 annual billable hours target (structured to support reasonable pacing and work-life balance).

Compensation & Benefits:

• Base Salary: $100,000+ base salary, entirely negotiable depending on the year of call and depth of experience (not grid-locked).
• Quarterly Lucrative Bonus: 40% of any billings exceeding 3x quarterly salary every single quarter.
• Benefits Plan: Comprehensive extended health benefits coverage starting on Day 1.
• Sick Leave: Flexible, health-first arrangements.
• Vacation/Time Off: Between 3-4 weeks depending on years of experience.
• Marketing Flex Budget: Associates receive an individual flex budget dedicated to personal marketing, community involvement, or local initiatives they care about.
• Professional Coverage: Full coverage of Law Society fees, professional insurances, cell phone bills, and related professional expenses.
