THE ROLE

We are partnering with a reputable Canadian law firm located in Surrey, BC. Currently, we are looking to add an additional member to their Corporate Commercial team as they have a need for a Legal Assistant!

In this role, you’ll assist a corporate-commercial partner and associate with a wide range of business matters and transactions – including M&A, private, and commercial financing (for lenders and borrowers), contract drafting, and more. Some files are routine; others are unique.

Responsibilities:

  • Preparing legal documents and agreements, including contracts and closing materials
  • Assembling commercial lending and financing packages
  • Conducting due diligence and corporate searches
  • Coordinating funding and handling related accounting matters
  • Supporting all aspects of transactions – including the expected, and occasionally the unexpected

You’ll be involved at every stage of a transaction, from the initial client meeting to post-closing wrap-up. This is a hands-on role within a close-knit team that values collaboration, efficiency, and results.

This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, thrives on variety, and enjoys seeing deals through from start to finish.

Qualifications:

  • A Legal Administrative Assistant certificate from an accredited post-secondary institution
  • Minimum of 3 years of working experience as an LAA
  • Energized by deal work and able to manage multiple tasks under pressure
  • Adaptable and comfortable shifting priorities as transactions evolve
  • Collaborative and committed – willing to stay late when needed to help close the deal
  • Proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to take ownership and contribute to the team’s success
  • Experienced in conveyancing, commercial transactions, and lending (private and commercial) – an asset, but not required
