Family Law Lawyer – Chapman Family Law

We are looking to add another lawyer to our team! Ideally, the successful candidate will have 3+ years’ experience practicing family law in Nova Scotia, however lawyers with less experience may also be considered.

We work collaboratively to help family law clients through some of their toughest life experiences.

We are committed to mentoring, empowering and advancing women in the legal profession.

• Member in good standing the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society;
• More than three years’ experience practicing family law in Nova Scotia;
• a high degree of professionalism and a collaborative spirit;
• Strong knowledge of family law and legal procedures;

Our whole team works remotely; we meet with clients, as needed, at a private workspace. We think that a virtual model provides our team members with the opportunity to have a better work/life balance. Given we don’t have the costs associated with a physical space, we are able to offer our team competitive salaries and lower targets. We think our model makes our team members less susceptible to the burnout we often see among legal professionals, and we are able to facilitate a more sustainable long-term career in the helping profession that is family law.

We nurture a law firm culture that supports our team members. We communicate and collaborate on files daily and meet monthly for team building activities. We believe that our virtual model provides team members with the opportunity to more easily achieve a work/life balance.

Team members are provided with competitive wages, fitness allowances, health benefits, cell phone allowances and free meditation apps.
