Life at Watson Goepel.
Located in the heart of Vancouver, our contemporary office fosters a professional and collegial environment. We also have an office conveniently located in West Vancouver to service our clients who prefer to meet with their legal counsel on the North Shore. Both offices are connected by our collaborative, forward-thinking team that works both collectively and independently in their fields of expertise to achieve excellent results.
Day to day, you will find our lawyers and staff in each other’s offices working together to solve challenging legal cases or socializing in our café and lounge. We are also fortunate enough to have a few KC’s who are always willing to offer expertise and guidance when needed.
We know that everyone makes and impact and together we are dedicated to cultivating a culture of collaboration.
Employee benefits & rewards.
Professional Development
We strive to be a place where people can grow and thrive. We encourage our lawyers and staff to develop their skills and abilities through participation in courses, seminars, industry associations and conferences. For our staff, we offer an annual education reimbursement. For our lawyers, in addition to hands on learning and mentorship, we pay for their CLE courses and provide opportunities to attend industry-related conferences.
Culture
We believe that a positive firm culture is the cornerstone of success. Our commitment to fostering an environment where our lawyers and staff thrive as both professionals and individuals sets us apart. We do this in a number of ways from frequent informal gatherings to elaborately planned events organized by our social committee. We also understand that life extends beyond billable hours. Whether it’s spending time with family pursuing personal interests or volunteering in the community, we support your well-being.
Collaboration & Mentorship
We believe that collaboration breeds success. Our lawyers and staff work together, leveraging their diverse expertise to provide comprehensive solutions for our clients. As part of our onboarding process, we pair every new hire with a mentor to help you navigate the firm, the people and the culture. We understand that it can be unsettling to join a new firm; your mentor will collaborate with you to ensure your success.
Marketing & Business Development Team
Our dedicated marketing team will work with you to develop a unique marketing and business development strategy to help you increase your visibility and fine-turn your personal brand so you can attract new clients, build strong relationships, identify cross-selling opportunities and grow your list of clients.
Community Involvement
We are committed to making a difference in the communities in which we work and live. Our lawyers and staff actively participate in local events, pro bono work and charitable initiatives. From rappelling down a building to raise money for Easter Seals to providing free legal services to recent immigrants, we are always open to supporting initiatives near and dear to our staff.
