Litigation Associate

Our client is seeking a three-to-six-year call litigator to add to their existing general litigation, insurance defence and maritime practices.

The ideal candidate will have three to six years of experience handling general litigation files, including managing files independently under the guidance of senior counsel, communicating with clients and opposing counsel and conducting examinations for discovery, mediations, and court applications. Prior experience in the areas of maritime law or insurance defence is an asset but not required.

About our Client:

The firm is a Vancouver based law firm founded in 2002 and is one of the leading maritime law firms in Canada. They routinely act for shipowners, charterers and their insurers. They have been involved in most of the major maritime shipping casualties that have occurred on Canada’s west coast, including ship-source pollution incidents, collisions, groundings, sinkings, shipboard fires, and cargo losses.

Many of our lawyers are routinely recognized as leading lawyers in the area of maritime law. The firm’s lawyers also have well-established practices in the areas of employment law, health law, commercial litigation and family law in addition to a broad corporate commercial practice.

They offer significant hands-on litigation experience including regular opportunities for direct client contact and independent file management. The firm’s associates have bright long-term prospects and the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop their practice in conjunction with their existing client base. The firm is very proud of their entrepreneurial, supportive, and collegial work environment.
