Job Description

Family Lawyer (1–3 Years Call)
Abbotsford, BC | Growing Full-Service Firm

A dynamic and rapidly growing Fraser Valley-based law firm is seeking a junior family lawyer (1–3 year call) to join its Abbotsford office.

The firm is known for its client-focused, compassionate approach to family law, paired with a modern, efficient practice model and strong community presence. It offers a supportive environment where early-career lawyers can build meaningful courtroom and client experience.


The Opportunity

You will join a collaborative team handling a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, custody, support, and property division. The firm emphasizes practical, results-oriented solutions while maintaining a high level of care and empathy for clients navigating challenging situations.

This is an excellent opportunity for a junior lawyer looking for hands-on experience, strong mentorship, and significant earning potential early in their career.


Key Responsibilities

  • Manage family law files, including separation, divorce, parenting, and support matters
  • Draft pleadings, agreements, and court materials
  • Attend court appearances, mediations, and negotiations
  • Provide clear, strategic advice to clients during high-stress situations
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues across related practice areas where needed

Ideal Candidate

  • 1–3 years of call in British Columbia
  • Experience or strong interest in family law
  • Comfortable handling files with increasing independence
  • Strong communication and client management skills
  • Organized, responsive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High earning potential through a fee-split compensation model
  • Salary range of $90,000 – $120,000 (with upside)
  • Opportunity to quickly build courtroom and client-facing experience
  • Supportive, tech-forward practice environment focused on efficiency and results
  • Collaborative culture with a strong emphasis on mentorship and growth

About the Firm

This is a modern, multi-service firm with offices across the Lower Mainland, offering services in family law, litigation, and other key practice areas. The team combines full spectrum legal expertise with innovative systems and technology to deliver efficient and effective client outcomes.


Confidential Inquiries

All inquiries will be held in strict confidence.


This is an ideal opportunity for a junior family lawyer seeking early responsibility, strong earning potential, and a clear path for growth within a supportive and forward-thinking firm.
