SpringLaw Virtual Law Firm Seeking 2 Employment Lawyers

March 25, 2022

SpringLaw is a virtual employment law boutique that helps bosses and execs build and manage workplaces with more calm and less drama.

We believe in using tech and automation to deliver legal services more efficiently so that we can focus on connecting with our clients IRL and on a human level.

The firm was founded 5 years ago on a paperless and virtual model and built to thrive in our new online environment.

We’re busy and need 2 more lawyers on deck!

We are looking for 2 innovative, tech-savvy lawyers with 3+ years of employment law experience, each with a slightly different focus:

• Litigation-focused lawyer who loves getting on their virtual, digital and sometimes IRL feet, with an interest in criminal law as it intersects with workplace law
• Solicitor-focused lawyer who loves contracts, drafting, and advising employers in their day-to-day workplace law issues.

What you’ll do:

• Collaborate with other lawyers on our team to help both bosses and employees solve their workplace legal problems.
• Manage your own files and work directly with clients to be their go-to problem solver and voice of reason.
• Write blogs, articles, presentations, e-books and other online tools for clients.
• Help the team. Period. We have no silos or egos – everyone must roll up their sleeve and simply ask “How can I help the client and our team?”
• Stay connected with your community, friends and family while working hard for clients – it doesn’t need to be one over the other. You’ll be a better lawyer for it.

What you’ll bring to the role:

• Advocacy and litigation experience, including virtual negotiations with opposing counsel and a lead on files.
• Shared values for how you want to help clients: see our Client Values Manifesto.
• Practical, real world experience to ground every legal solution in real life.
• Collaborative, team work, no-silos kind of soul.
• Kindness and humour.
• Diversity and unique perspectives.
• Grit, hard-work ethic and an instinctive focus on getting the client’s problem solved.
• A relentless growth mindset always seeking to improve workflows, legal knowledge, lawyer skills and client services.
• Tech-savvy, forward-thinking and bold about the future of law and how to solve peoples’ legal problems today and in 20 years.
• A desire to join a team long-term, where you belong, grow and become core to the firm’s fabric. We even have a DB pension plan!
• 3+ years of experience helping clients

   • resume
   • law school transcripts
