Applicant Expectations/Requirements:

Therefore, above all else, there is an expectation that the person acting in this role will maintain a pleasant and positive demeanor at all times if/when interacting with clients, financial institutions, and/or other law firms. Since the development of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, Carson Law has transitioned a significant amount of its financial operations to online and e-banking.  Therefore, applicants will be expected to be comfortable working with web-based applications and be able to learn/troubleshoot a variety of different software.

Pandemic Operations and Office Safety

Since March 16, 2020 and the escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in various province-wide restrictions, Carson Law has taken steps to keep its staff and clients safe by establishing a remote working environment as well as coordinating virtual signing appointments. As Provincial and Municipal Governments are constantly making adjustments to their safety measures and recommendations, we continue to fluctuate between having a completely remote workforce and a rotating schedule that has our staff splitting time between working from home and attending the office as a way to reduce traffic in the workplace and adhere to physical distancing recommendations. New hires will need to be versatile, organized, and self-motivated enough to work effectively through remote workstations when necessary, but comfortable being in a professional office setting on a regular basis.  Candidates will be educated in our firm policies and procedures upon being successfully selected for a position.


Projected Salary:  $30,000 - $36,000 per year
