Principal Real Estate Lawyer
Job Description
Principal Real Estate Lawyer (3+ Years)
Alberta | Legal Tech Start-Up | Build, Shape, Disrupt
Trevor Frances Recruitment is proud to partner with a fast-growing legal technology start-up that is reimagining how real estate law is delivered in Alberta. This is not a traditional law firm role—and that’s exactly the point.
Our client is looking for a Real Estate Lawyer with a minimum of 3 years’ experience, licensed to practice in Alberta, who wants more than files and billable hours. This is a rare opportunity to help design the future of real estate legal services, shape scalable processes, and play a hands‑on role in onboarding and supporting a growing network of lawyers.
Why This Role Is Different
- Join a tech-enabled, entrepreneurial environment where innovation is encouraged—not buried in committee
- Influence process flow, systems, and service delivery from the ground up
- Work alongside experienced law clerks who support execution, allowing you to focus on legal judgment and strategy
- Be part of a business that values speed, clarity, and client experience
- Have a real voice in how the legal product evolves as the company scales
What You’ll Be Doing
- Handling real estate transactions with a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and consistency
- Helping design, refine, and improve legal workflows and processes
- Supporting the onboarding and integration of a network of real estate lawyers
- Collaborating closely with law clerks, operations, and product teams
- Acting as a legal and practical sounding board as the platform grows
- Bringing an ownership mindset to everything you touch
What We’re Looking For
- Licensed member in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta
- 3+ years of hands‑on real estate law experience
- Comfort working in a non‑traditional, fast‑moving environment
- An entrepreneurial, disrupter mindset—you see inefficiencies and want to fix them
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross‑functionally
- Someone energized by building, not just maintaining
Ideal For Someone Who…
- Is curious about legal tech and alternative legal service models
- Feels constrained by traditional firm structures
- Wants influence, impact, and growth—not just another title
- Enjoys solving problems and improving how work gets done
The Opportunity
This role offers competitive compensation, meaningful upside, and the chance to be part of something that’s genuinely changing the legal landscape. If you’ve ever wanted to blend law, technology, and entrepreneurship, this is your moment.
