Our practice is growing, and we offer a friendly, flexible, and supportive work environment.
We are looking for a lawyer to head our dispute resolution practice, which is primarily family law.

Initiative: you are committed to improving our firm as a whole by identifying opportunities for growth and improvement, identifying where you can assist, and taking action.

Resilient: you are able to adapt your practices based on feedback from clients and stakeholders.

Enjoys People: you are a natural relationship builder, excited about helping our clients through complicated times in their lives and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Qualifications/Skills:
• Ideally, at least two years’ dedicated experience in family law and a commitment to continue practicing in that area

If you're concerned about how COVID-19 will affect your legal matter or court proceeding, we're sharing the latest updates from the courts and details about our remote working arrangement here. Updated near daily.

It's becoming increasingly evident that “social distancing” is essential to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Even though there isn't yet a confirmed case of the virus in Revelstoke, we think it important to take steps now to protect the most vulnerable in our community. We don't think anyone should be afraid, but we believe strongly in the need to act now. This article has influenced our thinking: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/

Effective immediately, our office is generally not open for in person meetings. We are set up for remote work and are still fully operational. Here’s how we plan to operate:

1) We'll be responding to emails and answering phone calls during our regular office hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 – 5:00.

2) If you need to meet with us, we will schedule a telephone or video meeting depending on your preference.

3) As always, you can book an appointment by calling us at 250-837-4971, clicking the “Book an appointment” link in our email signatures, or accessing our online scheduler: www.calendly.com/mplg (Try it! It’s really easy to use and allows you to pick a time that’s convenient for you).

4) We use Zoom for video conferencing. Zoom is free, highly reliable, and works across any platform from a link we’ll send you. We encourage video meetings as they're the closest thing to an in-person meeting. Social distancing does not mean social isolation, and we’d love to see you!

5) If you think you need to meet in person, please give us a call at 250-837-4971, and we will discuss your individual situation. Generally, we'll be looking to meet in person only with those clients who have upcoming real estate closings and need to sign documents in front of a lawyer. If an in-person meeting is absolutely necessary, we'll implement a cleaning and distancing protocol and ask you to bring your own pen.

6) If you have an upcoming court date: the official guidance from the courts is evolving. At present, Provincial Court matters are proceeding as scheduled. Parties with Supreme Court matters are being encouraged to adjourn hearings to some point past the end of May. If you have a hearing coming up, we will be in contact with you specifically when we know more.

7) If you need to drop something off at our office – consider whether you can send us a scan or a photo of the document (there are many free scanning apps for smartphones). If not, please wash your hands before handling it and slip it under our door. We can plan for larger items if you call 250-837-4971.

8) If you’d like to pay an invoice, you can do that remotely by following the instructions set out at the bottom of the invoice.

9) Most importantly, if you're concerned about how your business or life will be affected by the virus, closures, or social distancing, please give us a call. We’d love to chat about it and, as always, provide free 15 minute legal information calls.

While we anticipate our transition to remote work will be a smooth one, we appreciate your understanding for any awkwardness or inconvenience. Thank you for your efforts to socially distance and keep our community strong and vibrant. Stay healthy!
