We have an immediate opening for an associate (1-5 year call) to join our Vancouver office to work in our Labour, Employment and Human Rights (LEHR) group.

As one of the largest national LEHR practices in Canada, we are able to comprehensively assist clients with their LEHR needs across the country in a coordinated manner.

We also advise many significant employers in a broad range of provincially regulated sectors including retail, manufacturing, mining, forestry, education, financial services, among others.

The successful candidate will have experience handling labour, employment and human rights matters, a strong academic record, excellent judgment and good interpersonal skills. We are interested in a service-oriented and responsive lawyer who is able to plan and deliver on complex files. Previous experience at a major law firm, or boutique is preferred.
