Partner closely with Western-region counsel to assist with BC Small Claims actions and Supreme Court matters.
-Document Preparation:
Draft pleadings, prepare settlement conference documents, organize evidence books, and assemble comprehensive books of authority and trial briefs.
-Internal Advisory:
Provide clear guidance and advice to internal business units regarding claims handling and corporate subrogation claims.
– Collaboration:
Actively sync and strategize daily with remote paralegal and legal peers based out of the Eastern offices.
Qualifications
What You Bring to the Table:
Experience:
-A minimum of 5 years of relevant civil litigation experience
-Credentials:
College diploma or degree in Paralegal Studies.
-Regional Knowledge:
Strong familiarity with British Columbia court filings, claims rules, and fillable small claims forms.
-Technical Tools:
Hands-on experience navigating the BC Court Services Online (CSO) portal and proficiency with the Microsoft Office suite (Teams, One Drive).
-Communication Style:
Excellent written and verbal English communication skills; you are confident proactively picking up the phone to connect with remote team members or courthouse staff.
-Personality:
Organized, grounded, and deeply collaborative. You take pride in being kind and helpful to your colleagues.
