Established in 1937, Baker Newby LLP is one of the largest law firms in the Fraser Valley with offices in Chilliwack and Abbotsford. We are currently seeking a Legal Administrative Assistant or Paralegal for our Family Law Department in Chilliwack.
Preferred candidates will have 5+ years of experience in family law practices and DivorceMate, and excellent software and technical proficiency as we operate with ever-increasing paperless practices. The successful candidate will of course be familiar in all administrative and procedural aspects of managing a family law file.
Joining an established and well-supported family law team of 5 senior assistants and 4 secondary support assistants, the successful candidate will also already recognize that family law is a fast, deadline-driven, high-responsibility and emotionally demanding practice. We seek candidates with a strong work ethic who thrive under pressure.
We recognize that experienced legal assistants and paralegals considering a move from Vancouver or elsewhere in the Lower Mainland may assume that Fraser Valley compensation will be less competitive. For experienced candidates, we encourage you not to make that assumption. Baker Newby is committed to offering very competitive compensation for the right candidate, with salary reflecting experience and demonstrated ability.
While we appreciate all applications, only those applicants who possess appropriate family law experience will be considered for an interview, and only those candidates considered for an interview will be contacted.
compensation: $60K – $75K annually based on experience
