What family law job experience do you have?

• Do you have 1-20 years of experience in the area of family law? (Yes, there is room for all levels of experience).

• Are you adaptable, organized, and willing to learn new strategies for caring for clients and for resolving their matters?
• Are you open to working in a forever-changing, dynamic and growing work environment?
• Are you looking for a long-term working environment?
• Do you see yourself wanting to be the member of a firm that is the leader in family law in BC?
  
• Are you wanting to earn a really great income, ethically, and without overcharging clients? 

If so, this is a really good fit, if you...

• are qualified to practice law in British Columbia (i.e you are a member of the Law Society of British Columbia).
• are committed to Pathway Legal’s protocols in terms of consistent client care, document saving and retrieval, and working in a cloud-based environment (we use Clio).
• follow the Pathway Legal onboarding process step by step as provided to you.
• are willing to take on the occasional high-conflict matter.
• will go to court when necessary but will do what you can to avoid court.
• believe in conflict resolution and not making matters more high-conflict than they already are. 
• will attend a weekly meeting of Pathway Legal’s lawyers for 30 minutes and never miss that meeting unless ill or on scheduled holidays.
• will attend Pathway Legal’s monthly operations meeting (the whole team) for one-hour and will never miss that meeting unless ill or on scheduled holidays.
• are committed to dispute resolution training. This means becoming qualified as a mediator if you are not yet qualified. This is a key part of our client-focused and dispute resolution culture.
• believe in an ethical approach to family law and not gouging your clients for money.
• are looking for mentorship from a highly experienced (almost three decades of practice) family law lawyer.
• are open-minded and value inclusivity.
• refuse to take instructions from a client if those instructions are against the best interest of children, bullying to the other spouse, or the wrong thing to do.

• have experience in both settlement-based and litigation-based areas of family law.
• have familiarity and experience at the BC Supreme Court and the Provincial Court of BC.

This opportunity is NOT for you if you:

• prefer to resolve your clients’ family law matters in a courtroom as opposed to negotiation, four-way meetings, mediation or mediation/arbitration.
• will not go to court at all ever (sometimes it is actually necessary to go to help the client).
• want to do things your own way and not in accordance with Pathway Legal’s protocols and strategies. Great client service comes from consistent systems!
• are oppositional towards your support staff.
• are racist, homophobic, arrogant, or a rigid thinker. 
• will take instructions that are against the best interests of the parties’ children, bullying to the other spouse, or the “wrong” thing to do.
