Corporate Lawyer (Intermediate)

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Miller Titerle + Company is a progressive law firm focused on business law, indigenous law and litigation that strives to achieve balance between rigorous financial accountability and a great culture.

We look for curiosity and innovation. We welcome those who are looking for something more than a traditional law firm. Diverse personalities help keep our lives exciting and entertaining. We look for people who are comfortable in a group setting, are not afraid to speak up and be heard, and who thrive on collaboration (as opposed to competition). This doesn’t mean we are only seeking extroverts; many of us are introverts who just happen to like each other’s company. We also look for people who have a strong work ethic. We like to enjoy ourselves around the office and are a lot more informal than many other firms. We firmly believe that giving our clients the best value, which often means busting our butts to get them the best advice and service when they need it. In other words, while we are a culture of fun, we are also a culture of performance.

We are hoping to welcome a business lawyer with 4 – 8 years of experience to work with our Corporate Law group. All candidates are expected to have excellent academic credentials; exceptional people skills; and a strong background in corporate and commercial law, particularly corporate structuring and reorganizations, commercial agreements, tax and/or financing files. Experience with Indigenous or Not-for-Profit organizations are an asset, and/or a strong interest to work with those organizations.

We are a values-based organization. Our Core Values and Team Building Blocks define us and inform our hiring decisions. We will consider candidates based on how they demonstrate alignment with our Team Building Blocks:

• We Build Teams, Not Egos – We honour our collective responsibility to each other and are dependable and reliable. We recognize our strength comes from the collective and we build each other up – both through our words and through our actions (like mentorship). We treat each other as equals and with respect; we don’t tolerate social hierarchy, and above all else, we are compassionate and empathetic.
• Mindful – we are non-reactive, balanced, patient and handle things as they come. We are open-minded, have faith in humanity, trust others and assume positive intentions. We take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others.
• Owner Mindset – we believe we control our destiny by the work we put in and that the only way to get better is to push both the firm and ourselves out of our comfort zones. We all actively seek growth (both personal and professional) and make impactful contributions to our business. We make bold moves and take smart risks that others would not. We are passionate about MT+Co., are emotionally invested, and are proud of our brand.
• Problem Solver – we show up as strategists and problems solvers – for ourselves and for our clients. This means we are curious, creative, and always think of the big picture. We embrace difficult problems as opportunities to get better and challenges to be met.
• Authentic + Equitable – we are self-aware and know who we are. We are confident and show up as our whole selves. At the same time, we realize that authenticity and equity are two sides of the same coin, so we make space for others to be authentic and show up as their whole self. That means we are open and accepting, and we strive for a more equitable workplace, and more equitable society.
• Grateful + Positive – we create the space for people to be happy and content by identifying the good in all situations, building people and teams up, being positive, and proactively expressing gratitude. 

The compensation will be determined by the year of call and experience. The expected salary range for this position is $145,000.00 – $170,000.00. Please note that the range reflects the base pay only and does not include our competitive bonus program, 100% employer paid benefits and various other perks offered by the firm.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

We are a group of forward-thinking lawyers and professionals who have built a progressive law firm based on a more passionate and personal way of practicing law. But what makes us different? We challenge the legal status quo by constantly questioning traditional practices and pushing ourselves to do better. Our innovative practices include different billing structures for our clients, working with clients, using technology to provide better service, and creating non-traditional roles and responsibilities for legal and non-legal staff.

We value our relationship with our staff members and want the opportunity to lay a foundation on which you can build a successful career. We want to surround ourselves with people who are engaged, honest, and confident enough on their own quest to support ours. We take seriously our responsibility to ensure you develop as a member of the firm and the legal community. We make every effort to accommodate you so that you gain experience in the areas that interest you. We encourage you to be involved in all aspects of the firm.

We seek clients we believe in, and we are passionate about the type of work we do. Life is too short to spend time working with people who don’t share our values.
