Litigation Legal Assistant
Overview
At Prowse Barrette LLP, we believe a law firm should be more than just a place to work — it should be a place where talented people feel supported, valued, and able to do their best work. Our team lives our core values every day: Embracing Challenges, Being Creative, Nurturing Curiosity, Looking After Each Other, and Finding the Fun.
We are an established and growing mid-sized firm in downtown Edmonton. As our litigation practice continues to expand, we are excited to welcome a Legal Assistant who is motivated, takes pride in producing excellent work, and thrives in an environment where high standards are paired with genuine support. If you are someone who enjoys contributing to a strong team and appreciates a workplace that invests in your success, you’ll feel right at home here.
We offer competitive salaries, a supportive team environment, and cover the cost of a monthly transit pass for employees who use public transportation—with bus and LRT access right outside our building.
If you’re proactive, detail-oriented, and want a role where your contributions are recognized and valued, we’d love to connect.
