Burn Tucker Lachaîne is hiring a senior bilingual law clerk to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis.
We are a boutique firm specializing in plaintiff personal injury and long term disability claims. We have an extraordinary team of law clerks and we are looking to add another bilingual clerk to our team.
The position requires someone who can work both independently and as part of a team. We require someone who is well organized, detail-oriented, patient, empathetic to clients and who has a cooperative approach to team work. Candidates should possess strong verbal and written communication skills, excellent computer and typing skills and experience with software including Microsoft Office 365. Experience with PC Law and Primafact or other legal accounting and document management software is an asset.
The position involves higher level law clerk tasks as well as more administrative tasks with clerks having responsibility, in conjunction with the lawyer, for all work on files. Tasks include opening files, completing conflict searches, sending out correspondence, communicating with clients, filing court documents, scheduling, reviewing and summarizing medical records and other documents, drafting pleadings, motions and other documents, following standard protocols and carrying out other tasks as directed. Our clerks work in cooperation with the lawyer on the file and a high level of responsibility for the day-to-day administration of the file is required. So that we can serve our French speaking clients well, this position is bilingual mandatory. Applicants must be bilingual (French and English) and possess a law clerk diploma or have equivalent experience working for several years in a law clerk capacity. Recent graduates will be considered but preference will be given to candidates with experience in personal injury litigation or insurance law. For those with relevant experience, a signing bonus is available.
We offer a competitive salary, commensurate with experience, extended health, dental and vision benefits and an opportunity to work with a collegial team.
There is flexibility currently between remote work and in-office work. Ideally, candidates should be able to commute to Ottawa or be willing to relocate to the Ottawa region for at least some in-office work, as may be required, but fully remote positions will be considered under the right circumstances.
To apply, please submit your application via email only at reception@burntucker.com. Applications should be submitted in English but we do also encourage you to submit a parallel application in French. Reference letters are appreciated. While we wish to thank all who apply, only those candidates who are selected for an interview will be contacted. No telephone inquiries please.
