Associate Counsel- Corporate, Commercial & Real Estate Law

About the Opportunity

We're looking for an established lawyer in corporate, commercial, and/or real estate law to join us as Associate Counsel. This isn't a traditional associate role — you'd be bringing your own book of business and running it independently, while we take care of the infrastructure, admin, and overhead that usually eats into a lawyer's time.

If you already work with a support person or assistant, we're happy to talk about bringing them on board too.

Who We're Looking For

• At least 3 years practicing law in BC

• An established, independent practice with your own client base

• Experience in corporate, commercial, or real estate law (or some combination of the three)

• Someone who wants more time practicing law and less time on the business of running a practice

How the Role Works

You operate your own practice under a management fee model — full autonomy over your files and clients, backed by our firm's resources. That includes:

• Ongoing mentorship and support from our lawyers

• A collegial, close-knit office culture

• Legal support staff, including paralegals experienced in real estate and corporate work

• Access to the boardroom, kitchen, and other shared building amenities

• A branded web profile and custom business cards

• A fully equipped workstation with an adjustable chair

• Direct phone line, fax, internet, and Wi-Fi

• Photocopier, scanner, and printer access

• General office supplies and stationery

• A new computer with multiple monitors and any additional equipment you need

• Access to BC Online, LTSA, Unity Accounting, eConvey, and other practice software

• A marketing budget, scaled to your projected billings

• Firm infrastructure that lends credibility and support to your practice

• Remote work support when needed, including secure email and data access

• Ongoing IT support
