Original job description

Stewart McKelvey – Associate Lawyer - Corporate Commercial

Stewart McKelvey is a large, regional law firm servicing clients throughout Atlantic Canada and across the country. Our Corporate lawyers are consistently ranked among the top lawyers in Canada by numerous publications, and we act for some of the most influential companies, boards and families in Canada. We have an entrepreneurial culture where we strive for excellence in providing client service, which is why many of our Corporate lawyers become trusted advisors and strategic sounding boards to C-level executives across the region.

We represent clients at all stages of development from innovative start-ups and early-stage growth companies to large established businesses, operating provincially, nationally and internationally. Our Corporate Commercial team advises clients on a broad range of commercial and corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and lending transactions, corporate governance and general commercial contracting.

The Opportunity:

We are currently looking for an Associate with 2-4 years' experience to join the Halifax office as a member of our Corporate Commercial group.

In addition, the ideal candidate has strong communication skills, is comfortable dealing directly with senior executives in strategic discussions and can manage multiple client priorities within tight timelines.

This is a partnership track role and, as such, the successful candidate will be expected to actively participate in business and client development and positively contribute to the culture of the firm.

Candidates must be a member in good standing with a Canadian Law Society and should provide a resume and cover letter by no later than November 20th, detailing relevant practice experience.

All inquiries will be held in strict confidence.

Interested Candidates:

For security purposes, applicants are asked to submit their resume, cover letter and any other accompanying application documents in PDF format.
