Join Our Growing Team

Three Oaks Law LLP is a newly established and growing law firm looking for a Family Lawyer with 2–5+ years of experience to join our Surrey office.

We’re a small firm with big ambitions, and we’re building something different.

At Three Oaks Law, we believe that a better way of practising law starts with creating a better workplace. As a new firm, we have the opportunity to be intentional about the culture we build, the people we work with, and the experience we provide to our clients.

We’re looking for a lawyer who shares that vision, values independence and collaboration, and wants to play a meaningful role in the growth of our firm.

About the Role

Our firm practises in the areas of family law, criminal law, and wills and estates. At this time, we are looking to add solely a Family Lawyer.

The ideal candidate is confident managing files independently, has strong advocacy and client management skills, and enjoys working in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities include:

• Independently managing client files from initial consultation through to resolution
• Drafting pleadings, applications, affidavits, agreements, and other legal documents
• Representing clients in court proceedings, mediations, negotiations, and settlement discussions
• Providing practical, strategic, and client-focused legal advice
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships
• Collaborating with other lawyers and support staff
• Contributing to the continued growth and development of the firm

Qualifications

• Member in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia
• 2–5+ years of post-call experience
• Family law experience preferred
• Strong drafting, negotiation, and advocacy skills
• Ability to independently manage files and competing deadlines
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• An existing book of business or client base is an asset, but not required
• A collaborative mindset, strong work ethic, and commitment to providing exceptional client service

What We Offer

We believe lawyers should have the flexibility, independence, and support to build successful and fulfilling careers.

• Flexible Compensation: The option of a competitive salary or fee-split arrangement, depending on experience and professional goals.
• Flexibility & Work-Life Balance: We recognize that life exists outside the office. We offer flexibility in managing your schedule and professional commitments, with an emphasis on quality work and accountability rather than rigid expectations.
• Your Own Private Office: A dedicated office space at our Surrey location.
• Autonomy Over Your Practice: The independence to manage your own files, develop client relationships, and shape your practice while having the support of a collaborative team.
• Opportunities to Grow Your Practice: Whether you’re bringing an existing client base or looking to build one, we encourage professional development and business growth.
• A Collaborative & Supportive Team: Work alongside lawyers who value sharing knowledge, supporting one another, and celebrating each other’s successes.
• A Voice in the Firm’s Future: As a growing firm, your ideas and contributions will matter. You’ll have the opportunity to help shape our processes, culture, and direction.
• A Different Approach to Law Firm Culture: We’re committed to creating a workplace built on mutual respect, trust, open communication, and a healthy approach to practising law.

Why Three Oaks Law?

A better client experience. A better workplace. A better way of practising law.

These aren’t just words to us. They’re the foundation of the firm we’re building.

We know that traditional law firm environments aren’t for everyone. We believe that practising law shouldn’t mean sacrificing your personal life, navigating unnecessary hierarchy, or measuring your value solely by the number of hours you spend at your desk.

We want to create an environment where lawyers genuinely enjoy coming to work, feel trusted to manage their practices, and have the flexibility to build careers that work for them.

As a small and growing firm, we’re not bound by the way things have always been done. We have the opportunity to build something better, and we want the right people to be part of it.

Whether you’re looking for greater independence, a more supportive workplace, or an opportunity to grow your practice without the pressures of running your own firm, we’d love to hear from you.

Rooted in values. Focused on people. Here for what matters most.
