About Us
Origin Law Corporation is a corporate and commercial law firm based in Surrey, BC. Our practice spans corporate and commercial law, securities and capital markets, real estate development, wills and estates, family law, and civil litigation, with a strong focus on cross-border transactions. As a member of the Alliott Global Alliance, we work on sophisticated files that connect clients across British Columbia and international markets. We're a growing, fast-paced firm where no two days look the same — and where the right person will have genuine room to learn and advance.
The Role
We're hiring a Legal Receptionist / Legal Assistant to serve as the welcoming face of our firm and a key support to our lawyers. This is a dual role that combines front-of-house reception and client intake with hands-on legal assistant work across several of our practice areas. It's an excellent opportunity for an organized, polished professional who enjoys variety and wants to be at the centre of a busy boutique firm.

- Answer, screen, and direct incoming calls and manage general firm correspondence

- Maintain our practice management system (Clio) — posting time and disbursements, billing entries, file management, and ensuring data accuracy
- Coordinate meetings, manage boardroom bookings, and prepare meeting spaces
- Order and manage office supplies and support day-to-day office operations
- Maintain the firm's filing, scanning, and document management systems

- Corporate & Commercial: preparing and formatting transaction documents, maintaining minute books and corporate records, assisting with incorporations and annual filings
- Securities & Capital Markets: assisting with regulatory filings, document preparation, and closing logistics
- Wills & Estates: preparing estate planning documents, assisting with probate applications, and managing client correspondence
Across all areas, you'll handle document preparation and formatting, e-filing, calendar and deadline management, and client communications.

- 3+ years of experience in a legal environment (reception, legal assistant, or legal administration)
- Hands-on experience with Clio (strongly preferred) or comparable legal practice management software
- Exposure to corporate, securities, or wills and estates files is a strong asset
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and a professional, client-first manner
- Excellent organization, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel) and comfort learning new technology
- Discretion and sound judgment in handling confidential and sensitive information
- A proactive, reliable team player who takes ownership of their work
- Fluency in additional languages is an asset
What We Offer
- Competitive salary of $50,000–$60,000 per year, depending on experience
