Commitment to Diversity

One of our firm's Core Values is that we value diversity and strive to reflect the communities we serve. In that regard, we encourage anyone who identifies as an Indigenous person, a visible minority, a person with a disability, and/or a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to apply. We also welcome you to self-identify your membership in these groups if you wish to do so.



Christianson TDS Law (CTDS) requires a full-time associate lawyer to work in our primary office in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. We are looking for a motivated associate who has experience in general practice areas such as real estate, corporate/commercial, wills, estates, powers of attorney, and municipal law. We offer an attractive base salary and benefits package, along with opportunities for career advancement.

Our Firm

For over 55 years, Christianson TDS has been based in Portage la Prairie, with branch offices located in Neepawa, Gladstone and MacGregor. We provide legal services to the people, the families, and their businesses in those communities and their neighbours in the agricultural areas surrounding them.



Partners Bjorn Christianson K.C., Lucy Kinnear & Kristin Desrochers, and our associates Sophie Collier, Kassi Delorey and Stefan Kriening, are supported by an experienced staff. We all believe that greater teamwork, responsiveness, and communication, provide the best results for our clients.



Supplemented by our Winnipeg office, our clients have direct access to over 30 areas of the law including taxation, environmental law, business immigration, labour and employment law, complex litigation, intellectual property, aboriginal law, and securities law, as well as connections to reputable law firms in over 100 countries around the world. Our lawyers have access to a wide range of practice development and practice management tools.

Reasons To Choose Rural Manitoba

We believe that working in smaller communities is an excellent opportunity for lawyers who want to make a difference, to develop strong client relationships, and to create change. Here are some of the reasons why:

Closer client relationships:

In smaller communities, you'll have the chance to build close relationships with clients and become their trusted advisor. This is a connection with clients that can't easily be built in larger urban centres.

Thriving economy:

Rural Manitoba is an excellent place to work, with a growing economy and plenty of opportunities to build your practice. You'll have the chance to make a real impact in the community and be part of something truly special.

More autonomy:

In law firms like ours, you have a greater degree of autonomy and control over your work, including the types of matters you handle, your schedule, and your work style. Rural Manitoba offers a more relaxed environment, giving you the chance to develop your skill set and achieve a better work-life balance in your personal and professional life.



And it's a great place to raise a family!
