About the role
Overview
606 Essex Chambers is a growing Vancouver litigation boutique seeking an associate with approximately 4 to 6 years of experience who is looking for challenging work, substantial responsibility, and long-term growth.
What We Offer
Estimated compensation of approximately $183,000 to $250,000+, with significant future growth potential. Qualified candidates will be shown the actual compensation of existing lawyers at the firm during the interview process.

The firm provides associates with substantial work and, for those interested, practical guidance and hand-holding on developing referral sources, building client relationships, and growing a successful long-term practice. A collaborative and supportive team environment that values competence, professionalism, responsiveness, good judgment, and integrity. Periodic overseas firm trips and other opportunities to strengthen relationships within the team.
Qualifications
4 to 6 years of experience at a reputable law firm. Membership in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia. Above-average academic performance in law school. Strong analytical, advocacy, and legal writing skills.
Application Materials

About 606 Essex Chambers
Our founders are licensed to practice law in both British Columbia and the United States and have effectively represented clients in numerous business disputes and transactions in multiple jurisdictions.
Our team members have diverse experiences and skills sets, which include: serving as a prosecutor for a state attorney’s office; working as a Certified Public Account at two Big Four accounting firms; and serving as general counsel to a private equity firm and playing a material role in developing the second tallest skyscraper in Taipei City.
We achieve results for our clients. For example, recently:
-
We litigated a property dispute between two religious organizations. After approximately six months of litigation, we obtained a $2.49 million settlement on behalf of our client while preserving the right to seek further damages from other co-defendants.
-
We defended an international logistics company in a dispute involving cross-border shipping. After approximately four months of litigation, we successfully convinced the plaintiff to discontinue the action without any consideration from our client.
-
We negotiated and obtained a six-figure settlement for a client in connection with a private loan where the client successfully recovered all her principal advanced with interest without undergoing any litigation.
-
We represented a private lender in a complex, eight-figure loan transaction where our client also essentially received a call option to purchase certain real property.
