REDEFINING THE LEGAL SERVICES PARADIGM REQUIRES THE RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
MEP Business Counsel isn’t your average law firm, which is why we’re not looking for your average players.

A commitment to excellence, integrity, and a sense of humour are character traits that define each of us. In return, we offer an amazing collaborative and innovative environment, a balance between career and personal development, and an opportunity to work with people and businesses you are passionate about.

We provide a hybrid working environment and flexible hours. In addition to a genuine collegial atmosphere offered at MEP Business Counsel, we provide market salary commensurate with experience and in line with leading business law firms in the downtown core: extended health/dental benefits, fitness reimbursement, as well as a bonus program based on contributions to the firm and more.
