Job Description

About you: We are looking for an associate lawyer with extensive Real Estate experience in both Purchase and Sales and refinancing. We work with a number of mortgage brokers, private lenders, trust companies and national banks and experience in understanding the urgency of their needs and requirements is extremely beneficial. General Wills and Estates experience will also be of assistance to us. This candidate will be able to work well within a team, providing direction and leadership, and be open and willing to learn within that environment. You have to have strong communication skills and be clear and precise when speaking to clients , to the other counsel and with our team. You will have to be very detail oriented as real estate is all about the details. Ensuring documents are prepared correctly and fundings are completed to give our clients the proper priority on title is essential. We are looking for someone who wants to build their future with us. Integrity, honesty, accuracy and a love for what you do and get to do is required. These are part of our core values. You want to learn, be mentored and become an expert in a specialized field of law in real estate and private lending (yes, we know no one is designated as an expert!). It would be great if you had clients of your own and were starting to learn or have learned how to market yourself and bring in your own billings. That is just an important of any practise and it shows initiative and drive. We would pay you a percentage of any fees collected from billings you brought into the firm. About Us: We are a small firm of 3 lawyers and about 10 staff. We are in downtown Calgary near the Courthouse. We work hard. We laugh alot. We swear (but never to our clients or defendants). We support each other and always have each other\'s backs. We are so blessed to work with amazing clients, from National Banks, Trust Companies, Mortgage Investment Corporations and Private Lenders. Our clients have high expectations of us but not as high as we place upon ourselves. We work at a fast pace and therefore accuracy in all that we do is essential. We are all attentive, productive, dedicated and reliable at work. The job rarely requires working late or on weekends, but of course that can happen. For security reasons our cellular phones are not synced to the office and we can not work from home. We have developed systems that help us work smarter, not harder, and it is a continuing goal to build upon those systems. Everyone contributes in this regard and we would want you to do so as well. We are responsive to our clients and that has certainly helped us maintain being leaders in our fields. You need to have a "solve the problem" default setting rather than a complain about a problem attitude. Problems happen. That\'s why we have a business; to solve those problems for our clients. When we know what to do, we do it! When we don\'t, we find out. We dress casual but business casual or smart casual, especially when meeting with clients. We pay your Law Society, ALIA, Canadian Bar Association and Calgary Bar Association fees. We pay for and strongly encourage continued learning in our areas of practise and in leadership training. We also encourage opportunities to pass on that knowledge to our client base, service providers and other members of the Bar. We really consider ourselves a big family. Becoming a part of that family matters to us. We want you to succeed. We want you to learn from us and teach us too. We want our place of work to be where we all feel successful, proud of what we do, respected, supported and encouraged by one another. We want to find a person who wants that too! Please do not apply if you have no real estate experience. It really is a requirement. Job Type: Full-time Salary: $80,000.00-$150,000.00 per year Benefits:
