Full-time

POWERGROUP Resources

Mouck Workplace Law is a Hamilton-based law firm focused on employment law, labour relations, workplace investigations, and litigation. We are committed to providing practical, strategic legal advice that helps our clients resolve issues efficiently and effectively. We are trusted advisors to our clients and are fractional general counsel to many small and medium-size businesses and nonprofits. We are experts in employment law, and bring the values of honesty, integrity and respect to our dealings with clients, the courts, our adversaries and the public. Our network includes lawyers and law firms in other practice areas who know this, and refer their employment law business to us.

We are looking to hire an experienced Lawyer who shares these values. The ideal candidate will have 3–7 years of experience in employment law and litigation and is looking to build a long-term practice in employment law. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer who enjoys managing their own files, values autonomy, and is committed to delivering exceptional client service.

We may use AI-assisted technology during the recruitment process to support application screening. All interviews, candidate assessments, and hiring decisions are conducted by people. This posting is for an existing employment opportunity.
