This Role
We are hiring a mid-level Legal Assistant to join our Commercial Lending Department.
You will be joining a capable team of five assistants (four others) and experienced, professional and pleasant lawyers. Given the hands-on nature of commercial lending work, this role is based in our main Abbotsford office.
This position suits someone who likes structure, pace, and accountability. If you take pride in running clean files, spotting issues early, and owning outcomes, you’ll feel at home here. If you prefer step-by-step instruction or slow-moving work, this likely isn’t the right fit. You’ll work independently, with support from a collaborative team that values competence and efficiency over micromanagement.
