[full-time] Junior Associate - Boutique Corporate/Commercial Firm (Kelowna) at Jobs in Calgary

2011-09-12 10:15:34

Location: Calgary
Description:

What are we looking for?
As a junior associate, your role will involve undertaking a wide range of commercial and corporate transactional work. You will ideally have a general corporate/commercial background, most likely from a leading city or national firm, will be articling and have a strong academic profile, or are recently called and have undertaken a fair amount of corporate/commercial work during your articles with a recognized commercial law firm. We are willing to teach you, but it would be an asset if you’ve already had experience in one or more of the following: corporate finance, acquisitions and disposals, due diligence, company formations, commercial contracts and some intellectual property/information technology work. You will also be able to demonstrate the ability to work to demanding targets and to offer the highest possible standard of client care. In short, the ideal candidate will have the following traits:

1. An articling student, recently called to the bar or junior associate (1-2 year call).
2. Wants to gain valuable experience and skills in the corporate/commercial area of practice.
3. Lives in Kelowna or is tired of the rain and would like to live in the Okanagan.
4. Appreciates the high quality work you’d typically find at a large national firm, but doesn’t want to work at a big firm.
5. Has an entrepreneurial bent.
6. Is willing to travel, as necessary.
7. Wants to work directly with interesting clients.

Who is Whiteboard Law LLP?
Whiteboard Law LLP is boutique high-end corporate/commercial law firm that advises businesses on issues such as acquisitions and disposals, mergers and takeovers, corporate finance, debt financing, equity financing and restructuring, joint ventures and strategic alliances, start-ups and spin-outs. We service specific clientele ranging from high-tech start-ups to multi-million dollar funds. In short, we are “deal junkies” — we thrive off structuring and executing complex deals. We don’t accept walk-in clients and the work we take on is fascinating (well, for the most part).

Why is Whiteboard Law LLP different than a typical Kelowna law firm?
While we are located in the Okanagan, the types of transactions we are involved in are similar to what you find in a larger Vancouver firm. Our goal is to provide seamless client delivery with the sophistication and quality produced by that of a large national firm, and the personal attention and problem-solving approach typically found in-house — we call it the best of both worlds.

Why would I want to work with you?
This is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified or junior corporate/commercial solicitor who is looking to get involved in very high quality work with direct client contact. While we are located in sunny Kelowna and love the beach as much as the next lawyer, but we are a fast-paced, dynamic practice where the client is always first. Contrary to popular belief, we don’t leave the office at 3pm every day — our practice is demanding, but extremely rewarding. We won’t expect you to work the same hours as you would in a large, downtown Vancouver firm — but make no mistake about it, we DO work hard. During a closing, that would mean working some evenings and possibly some weekends. That being said, you would be part of a collaborative team in a non-competitive, but driven, atmosphere.

Who will I be working with?
You will be working directly with two partners here in the Kelowna office – both of whom have moved from Vancouver. We both have experience at large national law firms and have also worked as in-house counsel to North American and International corporations.

Please send your cover letter and CV to the REPLY e-mail or fax to 1-888-982-6273
