This position presents a potential encouraging environment for new legal assistants, who may be displaced by the recent accelerating reduction in available ICBC defence matters, who are looking to expand their base of experience at an established full-service law firm.
This may also present an opportunity for past mature ICBC Legal Administrative Assistants who may have left the profession to raise a family, who wish to return to a lighter duty legal career.
While we appreciate all interest, only those considered for an interview will be contacted.
