Lawyer

Habing Laviolette is a well-established law firm located in the peaceful suburbs of St. James. As a small office, we pride ourselves on our close-knit culture, where each lawyer is trusted, supported, and given meaningful autonomy over their practice.

Our firm offers a professional environment that values quality of work, collegiality, and balance. We practice across several core areas of law while remaining open to growth and new directions.

We are currently seeking a lawyer to join our firm. This role is well‑suited to a lawyer who values independence, the ability to shape their own practice without the pressure of billable‑hour targets, and a balanced lifestyle, rather than one that is work‑centric.

There is no billable‑hour requirement. We focus on delivering excellent client service while maintaining reasonable and sustainable working hours. Our office closes at 4:30 p.m. daily, and we observe a one‑hour lunch break during which the office is closed. We also have free parking in the area.
