Employment & Litigation Lawyer

Looking for courtroom experience without billable hour targets?

We're hiring an Employment & Litigation Lawyer to join our in-house legal team.

This is a rare opportunity to build meaningful litigation experience while working directly with business leaders in a large and growing organization. You'll manage files from start to finish, appear before courts and tribunals, participate in negotiations and mediations, and play a key role in resolving employment and litigation matters.

Unlike many in-house roles, this position offers hands-on advocacy work, early responsibility, and the opportunity to take ownership of your files from day one.

What You'll Do

• Manage employment and litigation files from pleadings through resolution

• Represent the organization before courts, tribunals, and administrative bodies

• Draft pleadings, affidavits, briefs, applications, and settlement materials

• Participate in mediations and other dispute resolution processes

• Provide practical legal advice to business leaders

• Support policy development and proactive risk management initiatives

• Help resolve workplace issues before they escalate into disputes

What You'll Bring

• Active membership in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia

• 1–4 years of litigation experience, employment law experience considered a strong asset

• Experience appearing before courts, tribunals, or administrative bodies

• Strong advocacy, negotiation, and legal drafting skills

• Ability to independently manage files and competing priorities

• Sound judgment and a practical, business-minded approach to problem solving

• A desire to take ownership, make decisions, and drive matters to resolution

Why Join Us

• No billable hour requirements

• Meaningful litigation experience from day one

• Early responsibility and direct ownership of files

• Exposure to senior leadership and business decision-making

• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

• Coverage of professional dues and continuing legal education

• Opportunity to grow your career within a large and diverse organization

This role is ideal for a lawyer who enjoys advocacy, wants to continue developing litigation skills, and is looking for a long-term opportunity outside the traditional law firm model.

If you're interested, we'd love to hear from you.
