Exceptional Team.
From our most seasoned partners to our dedicated mailroom staff, every member of our team truly enjoys working together to meet the needs of our clients. This shared commitment and camaraderie are at the heart of our success.
Regional Roots.
We are a regional firm with all of our management and decision-makers rooted in western and northern Canada. We are flexible and attentive to the individual needs of our staff, students and lawyers. At our firm, you will never be just a number or a series of statistics.
Career Advancement.
We provide continuous professional development opportunities to ensure that both our students and associates acquire the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to become exceptional lawyers. Through tailored training programs, mentorship, and practical experience, we strive to support their growth and success at every stage of their legal careers.
We love collaborating, mentoring, and producing excellent work.
What Is Our Firm Culture?
Lawson Lundell LLP's culture is based on a tradition of collegiality, team work, mutual respect and superb client service. Put simply, it is a rewarding and welcoming place to work. Our staff, students and lawyers are often surprised to find that a firm of one hundred plus lawyers can feel so comfortable. Our lawyers have open doors and questions are always encouraged.
We are proud to have loyal and supportive staff, many of whom have been with the firm for years. In fact, we currently have 93 lawyers who began their careers at Lawson Lundell as articling students and have remained with the firm ever since. This long-standing commitment speaks to the strength of our firm’s culture and the professional growth we foster at every stage of our team members' careers. Their commitment and expertise contribute to a strong, cohesive team that is deeply invested in the success of our clients and the firm as a whole. This long-term stability is a testament to the supportive work environment we’ve fostered, where everyone is encouraged to thrive and grow professionally.
Lawson Lundell is committed to meeting the expectations of our clients in a timely way. While we strive to maintain a healthy balance between work and our personal lives, we understand that excellent client service may require us to help out at times when our colleagues need us. However, we are not a firm that requires "face time" just for the sake of being here: when the work is done, and done well, we encourage staff, students and lawyers to spend time with family and friends outside of work.
In addition to our professional commitment, we place a high value on fostering meaningful interpersonal relationships within the firm. We regularly organize social activities that provide all team members with the opportunity to connect outside of the office. These events not only promote a sense of camaraderie but also strengthen our working relationships, creating a collaborative and positive workplace culture where everyone feels valued and supported. We have an annual winter holiday party, firm dinners, golf tournaments, a semi-annual retreat and ad hoc sporting events. Every summer the students and the lawyers square off against each other in a friendly soccer match. We participate in community events such as fundraising for the United Way, the CIBC Run for the Cure, and the BC Children's Hospital Foundation.
We encourage everyone to take part in social, athletic and community activities both within the firm and outside it.
