A people first mentality.
Adair Goldblatt Bieber was founded to be a good place for clients and a good place for people to work. Whether joining our firm as a litigator, law clerk, legal assistant or administrator, we are committed to cultivating a workplace where individuals feel valued, supported, and empowered to advance their careers.
We are a community: We will help you discover and achieve your professional goals – not by pitting you against your colleagues, but by helping each other succeed. We genuinely enjoy the work and each other, and pride ourselves on being a community where passionate professionals come together to grow and thrive.
“Take the work seriously, not ourselves”: Litigation can be intense, but that doesn’t mean our workplace needs to feel that way. We are a close-knit and collegial group committed to breaking down the barriers found in many traditional law firms. We approach the complex and challenging work of litigation with levity, openness, and flexibility, to create a workplace that people enjoy, and where they feel supported and comfortable to be themselves.
Find balance: At AGB, we work hard but also recognize the importance of balancing a fulfilling career with a fulfilling personal life. This is essential for lawyers' wellbeing, mental health, and retention within the profession. We also believe that well-rounded lawyers are better lawyers.
"At AGB, we all have one thing in common: a passion for litigation. We enjoy learning about our clients and their matters, developing creative strategies and solutions to litigation, and sharing our unique experiences and perspectives to help each other grow."
The AGB person.
Passionate: We hire passionate advocates. Everyone from our newest associates to our most senior partners is focused on honing their skills, advancing their careers, and contributing to the firm’s reputation for excellence. We are enthusiastic and passionate advocates.
EQ: Practicing litigation requires more than book smarts – it requires high emotional intelligence too. We focus on finding people with sound judgment who can relate to clients, engage productively with opposing counsel, and read the room.
Resilient: Litigation is complex and unpredictable – our litigators are flexible, agile, and adaptive. They capitalize on opportunities, form creative solutions, and effectively support our clients.
Intelligence & Experience: Our lawyers perform at the highest levels. Many were award winners at law school, clerked at prominent courts across Canada, and started their careers at other strong litigation firms. Their intelligence and experience promote sound judgment and drive exceptional client service.
Values: Decency, good humour, collaboration, and mentorship infuse our culture. As does integrity, in all interactions: with colleagues, opposing counsel, clients, and courts. These values, combined with our commitment to excellence, are why clients trust us. It is also why such talented lawyers choose to work with us.
