Keystone Legal is a litigation practice based in Cochrane. It acts in contested estates, in divorce and family property matters where a business, a farm or significant property is involved, in disputes between shareholders and partners, and in claims by and against professionals. Lawyers at the firm carry their own files under the supervision of Naomi Iskra, Barrister and Solicitor, deal with clients directly from the first consultation, and appear in person at the Calgary Courts Centre.
The work
Files are prepared from the first meeting as though they will be heard, so a lawyer at the firm takes a matter through disclosure, chambers applications, questioning, mediation and, where it comes to that, trial. The practice is virtual, with meetings by secure video and in person in Cochrane or Calgary, and the firm works in English and in French.
Who the firm looks for
The firm looks for lawyers called to the Alberta bar, or eligible to transfer, who want a litigation practice and the responsibility for their own files that comes with it. Clear writing, careful preparation and good judgment with clients count for more than years of call. French is an asset but not a requirement.
Current openings
The firm is recruiting an associate lawyer at present, and the posting sets out the position in full.
How to apply
Send a cover letter and a CV to naomi@keystone-legal.ca with “Careers” in the subject line. Applications are treated in confidence, and the firm welcomes applications from lawyers at any time, whether or not a position is posted.
