What we are looking for:

  •  CORES 1, 2 or 3 Certification would be a considerable asset;

Flexible and permanent remote work.

CCC is not a conventional law firm. While we value high-quality work products, organizational and administrative skills, passion, and initiative, we are non-conformist. We believe a dynamic, team-oriented, and collaborative work environment is better than a rigid firm hierarchy. Much of our work is done remotely, and we are happy to provide a flexible work schedule that supports work-life balance. It’s 2021, and clients assess our services by their quality, ease of access, and our passion for serving their needs, not by the optics of opulent downtown office space. We also work in large part remotely because we serve diverse clients across Alberta, British Columbia and nationally.

Please provide a cover letter that summarizes your applicable experience and qualifications, and tell us about your experience with, or what you know about co-operatives about social enterprise and why you think you can contribute to our team.

  • Full-time: 35 hours per week (remote)
