Our non-profit client has an immediate vacancy in their downtown Vancouver office for an experienced paralegal who can start as soon as possible and commit to a 9-month term.

A paralegal or legal assistant certificate is required, together with at least 5 years of related legal experience. Candidates should possess knowledge of criminal, family, immigration, civil and other legal proceedings to effectively perform this job.
