WHY YOU’LL WANT TO WORK WITH US
We ask a lot of our people, so we try to give a lot in return. In addition to a competitive salary, we think you’ll love these other benefits of working at Hamilton Duncan:
· Health and wellness: Take care of yourself and your family with our comprehensive benefits plan that includes extended medical, dental, vision, critical illness and life insurance coverages as well as an employee assistance program for those trying times. Sick leave days ensure that you don’t choose between your health and your income.

· Additional comforts: Enjoy coming to work in jeans every Friday, leaving an hour early before long weekends and all summer weekends and socializing with your colleagues at our regular social functions.
WHO YOU ARE
To be considered for this role, your application should demonstrate the following
· Experience: At least 5 years as a legal administrative assistant in a litigation role with comparable responsibilities (experience with estate litigation would be an asset).
· Education: A legal administrative assistant certification from an accredited post-secondary institution.

· Characteristics: This is a position of significant responsibility, so you should be self-motivated and thrive on solving problems both independently and with the team. The position is also demanding, meaning that you need to be cool under pressure and eager to take on challenges. We take pride in the quality of our work, so we hope you do too. And you will have contact with clients and other law firms, so you should relish the opportunity to communicate with others.
