Full job description

Smith & Co. Law is seeking an experienced Associate Lawyer to join our growing general practice.

This opportunity is best suited to a lawyer who has an established book of business, or who is actively developing one, and is looking for the independence of building their own practice within a flexible hybrid work environment while benefiting from the infrastructure and support of an established law firm.

The Opportunity

The successful candidate will independently manage client matters within their areas of experience and interest, from initial consultation through resolution or completion.

The Associate is expected to bring an existing book of business or be actively developing their own client base and referral network.

Firm overflow files and internal referrals may also be available from time to time, providing an additional source of work. However, the position is intended for a lawyer who is prepared to actively build and maintain their own practice.

This is a percentage-based, fee-split arrangement rather than a traditional salaried position. Compensation is based on collected billings and the agreed fee-sharing arrangement.

What the Firm Provides

Smith & Co. Law provides:

Flexible hybrid work environment
Office space
Boardroom and reception
Trust account and retainer administration
Administrative support
Practice management software and established file systems
Use of an established firm name and infrastructure
Opportunities for internal referrals and overflow files as available

This structure allows the Associate to focus on practising law and developing their client base without taking on all of the overhead and administrative responsibilities associated with operating a standalone firm.

Areas of Practice

We are open to lawyers practising in one or more areas, including:

Family law
Civil litigation
Wills and estate planning
Estate administration
Real estate
Corporate and commercial matters
General solicitor work
Other complementary areas of practice

Candidates are not required to practise in every area. We are interested in lawyers who bring experience in one or more practice areas and who want the opportunity to build or expand their practice within the firm.

Responsibilities

The Associate will be responsible for:

Independently managing files from initial consultation through completion
Providing legal advice and representation to clients
Drafting pleadings, agreements, correspondence and other legal documents
Conducting negotiations and settlement discussions where applicable
Attending court, chambers, mediations and other proceedings where required
Maintaining timely and professional communication with clients
Managing deadlines, limitation dates and file progression
Developing and maintaining client and referral relationships
Actively building and maintaining their own book of business
Ensuring files are handled in accordance with Law Society of Alberta requirements and professional standards

Qualifications

The successful candidate must:

Be a member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta
Have experience practising law in Alberta
Have an existing book of business or be actively developing one
Be comfortable independently managing their own files
Have strong drafting, communication, negotiation and client-management skills
Be organized and able to manage competing deadlines
Be comfortable with a percentage-based compensation model tied to collected billings
Have court experience if practising in a litigation-based area

Who This Opportunity Is Best Suited For

This opportunity may be particularly attractive to a lawyer who:

Has an established or developing client base
Wants greater control over their practice and schedule
Values the flexibility of a hybrid work environment
Prefers a fee-split arrangement over a traditional salaried associate position
Wants to build their own practice within an established law firm
Values access to administrative support and firm infrastructure
Is entrepreneurial and comfortable developing referral relationships
Would benefit from additional overflow work and internal referrals when available
Wants to avoid the expense and administrative burden of operating a completely separate law firm

Compensation

This is a percentage-based, fee-split arrangement.

The Associate's primary income will be generated through the clients and matters they independently bring into the firm.

Additional income opportunities may be available through firm overflow files and internal referrals as work becomes available.

Compensation will be based on an agreed percentage of collected billings. The specific fee split and terms will be discussed confidentially with suitable candidates.
