Associate Lawyer

Let's Talk About a Better Fit.

Let’s be honest: finding a truly better law firm fit is tough when you're already swamped with billable hours.

At Robert Half Legal, we simplify the process. We’re not just trying to fill one specific job opening; we're constantly searching for Associates at 2-10 years post-call for many firms. We work directly with the Partners and Managing Directors at dozens of firms, from small, high-growth boutiques to major national offices. If there's an excellent, unadvertised opportunity out there that fits your goals, whether that means a better fit with firm culture, clearer partnership path, less billable hours, a different work structure, or simply better compensation – we can find it for you.

Where We Are Seeing Openings

We are seeking Associates across all major areas. If you have 2+ years of experience running files in any of these groups, we should talk:

• Litigation: Commercial Litigation, General Civil Litigation, Insurance, and Construction.
• Corporate & Commercial: M&A, Private Transactions, Securities, and General Business Law.
• Labour & Employment: Workplace advisory, human rights complaints, and collective bargaining.
• Family Law: High-net-worth asset division and complex property mediation roles.
• Indigenous Law: Regulatory consultation, land claims, and economic development governance.
• Wills & Estates: Estate litigation and sophisticated multi-jurisdictional succession planning.

Your Experience

You're not just billing hours; you're running files. We're looking for lawyers who can work autonomously and bring real value to a team.

• You have been called to the bar in Canada and live in Edmonton or are actively looking to relocate here from another province.
• You have at least 2 years of post-call experience (up to the Senior Associate level).
• You handle client relationships well and are known for producing sharp, reliable legal work.
