As an Associate Lawyer at our firm, you will support and grow our practice by handling complex files with a particular focus on insurance defense and other civil litigation cases ranging from class actions to construction and Indigenous law. Here at GKN, we value a collaborative work environment, work/life balance and we offer an attractive compensation package.

On average, you will have the opportunity to be involved in 30-40 discoveries and 1-2 trials per year, providing excellent experience and career growth.
