Description
MerGen Law LLP is always interested in speaking to potential legal and legal support team members. If you don't see an open posting that you are interested in or want to learn more, please send us your resume. We'll reach out if an good opportunity arises.
Law firm experience is preferred but not mandatory. We are looking for someone who is outgoing, eager to learn and adapt, motivated to contribute to a great team but also confident to take on challenges independently. Law firms can be stressful with very tight deadlines so someone who works well under pressure is essential.
Firm History
The firm, as it presently exists, was established on September 1, 2019. Our Partners were both called circa 1979 and have both operated their own practices for many years in advance of merging forces.
- Kevin Weeks is our Managing Partner and has established himself in the legal and entrepreneurial spheres for his versatility and knowledge, specifically in the areas of corporate/commercial, entertainment, and real estate law.
- John Fletcher makes up the other half of our partnership and, as a former Colonel in the Canadian Armed Forces, he brings a unique approach to law, mentorship and collaborative leadership. John’s practice presently focuses on estate litigation, wills/estate administration and Alberta/BC real estate.
Firm Values & Culture
As with most businesses, we are proud of who we are and endeavor to make sure that anyone who looks to join our team is a good fit professionally as well as culturally. At MerGen Law, our values are pretty straightforward:
- Our clients come first, always.
- We approach everything we do with INTEGRITY, RESPECT, and PROFESSIONALISM. What does this mean? It means everyone is valuable to our team. It means we are constantly pushing ourselves to be better than yesterday. It means being proactive, accountable, communicative, and knowledgeable. It also means being humble, thinking before speaking, asking for help when you need it, and delivering on time.
- We are PASSIONATE about the law, our clients, our industry, and our community. We are constantly striving to leave things better than we found them and to learn as much as we can along the way.
- We are FRIENDLY and FUN! We work hard, making sure the job gets done right and on time, but we also play hard. Our work is important to us, but we always make time for a laugh and to connect with our colleagues on a personal level.
- We COLLABORATE. Our team plays to everyone’s strengths and supports growth in areas that might need some improvement. Everyone contributes to our team best by showing up authentically 100% of the time, even on their bad days. This type of supportive environment is essential to delivering our standard of results for our clients and for our team every day.
How do we live these values? We have a secret sauce but let’s see if you’re hooked yet!
Opportunity & Perks
The nitty-gritty of what we’re looking for is someone who:
- Motivated and eager to learn
- Comfortable interacting with a variety of stakeholders with different personalities
- Proficiency with computers, typing, and data entry
- Strong interpersonal skills and stays cool under pressure
- Detail oriented to ensure processes are followed and closing deadlines are met
- Aligns with our values and is looking for somewhere to call home long term
There are a number of perks of the office, some of which include: high degree of mentorship from senior counsel, ongoing social events, professional development opportunities, benefits packages, paid vacation and personal time, and discretionary bonuses & incentives. We know salary and compensation is always an important factor in evaluating any potential employment change and, although we appreciate that, we intentionally do not include salary ranges in initial discussions with candidates for two reasons: (i) our priority is ensuring that candidates are a good fit for our team and our clients and (ii) salary and compensation structures are negotiable, but values are not.
If our team sounds like the right fit, we encourage you to send us your resume!
