Description
Associate Lawyer
A. E. Penner Law Corporation is seeking to hire an associate lawyer (0-4 yr call) to work with us at our office in Terrace, British Columbia. We are primarily seeking a lawyer to have conduct of criminal and family litigation files and/or to advise and oversee on corporate matters. Practice areas can be adjusted based on the candidate’s applicable expertise, bearing in mind the economic realities of a small town general service law firm.
The successful applicant will be a member in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia, who enjoys a degree of flexibility and independence in their work environment. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in family, criminal, or corporate law. Recent calls to the bar will be considered, but experience is a strong asset.
Our firm has a close-knit atmosphere that encourages asking questions and assisting each other. Lawyers are primarily responsible for their own files, but are invited to discuss with each other and seek assistance when they feel it necessary. An ideal candidate will nonetheless be a self-starter and independent worker. Two of our lawyers are also approaching retirement and this would be an excellent opportunity for a lawyer who wanted to grow into a larger role at the firm over the next few years.
Penner Law is located in Terrace and serves a regional population of approximately 70,000. Serving small communities, we primarily focus on family, real estate, corporate, wills & estates, and criminal law, along with working to advise our clients on any other issues they encounter. We are currently a firm of three lawyers (and two excellent legal assistants), and we are seeking to add another lawyer to our firm primarily in the areas of corporate, criminal, and/or family law. There is significant demand for family and criminal lawyers in the region.
Terrace is a small town in Northwestern British Columbia, located on Highway 16, that serves as a regional nexus for the northwest. Known for beautiful mountain views, mild winters, and endless outdoor recreation opportunities, Terrace is also a hub for local industry in the region including oil and gas and forestry projects.
