About Pearlman Lindholm
Pearlman Lindholm is one of Victoria's most established full-service law firms, with a clear and ambitious plan: to become the leading law firm on Vancouver Island. We serve individuals, businesses, not-for-profits, and public sector clients across real estate, litigation, family law, corporate, and employment practice areas. Our approach is to deliver big-firm quality while remaining approachable, practical, and deeply rooted in the communities we serve.
We're growing with intention, investing in our people, our technology, and our processes, and we're looking for experienced professionals who want to be part of building something lasting. If you take pride in doing meticulous work, thrive in a collaborative team, and want your expertise to genuinely matter, this is the right firm.
The Role
You'll manage the full conveyancing lifecycle across residential resales, new construction, strata, and commercial real estate transactions. This is a senior, independent-contributor role. We expect you to run your files with confidence, communicate proactively with clients and counterparties, and bring a standard of accuracy and professionalism consistent with the firm's reputation.
You'll work closely with our real estate lawyers and support staff, and you'll be a central part of every transaction from first instruction through to title registration and reporting. You'll also be expected to adapt as the firm continues modernizing its systems, including AI-assisted tools and cloud-based platforms currently being rolled out across the practice.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing all aspects of residential and commercial conveyances from initial instruction through registration and client reporting
- Preparing and reviewing purchase and sale agreements, transfer documents, mortgages, and related instruments
- Coordinating with clients, realtors, lenders, notaries, and the Land Title Office throughout the file lifecycle
- Handling new construction and strata conveyances, including phased developments and bare land strata transactions
- Conducting title searches, reviewing title documentation, and identifying and resolving encumbrances or defects
- Preparing trust reconciliations, statements of adjustments, and reporting letters with a high degree of accuracy
- Working within and contributing to the firm's practice management systems, automation tools, and evolving technology platforms
- Participating in a collaborative real estate team where communication, accountability, and shared standards are the norm

- Comprehensive knowledge of BC real estate law, the Land Title Act, and Property Transfer Tax requirements

- Proficiency with E-Convey, GoVeyance, or equivalent BC conveyancing software
- Comfort with technology and a genuine interest in learning new tools, including AI-assisted platforms and cloud-based practice management systems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to explain complex matters clearly to clients at every stage
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage a high-volume, deadline-driven file load without sacrificing quality
- A collaborative, solutions-first mindset and a track record of working well within a team-oriented firm culture
- Designation as a Law Clerk or Licensed Paralegal is an asset; equivalent demonstrated experience will be considered
Why Join Us
