Halton County Law Association

At McKellar, Canada’s oldest and largest structured settlement firm, our clients are our first priority. We are a financial/legal services company that operates at the crossroads where lawyers, seriously injured people, and insurance companies meet. We help people navigate some of life’s most difficult decisions and support the incredibly important work of our lawyer and insurer clients.

As a Structured Settlement Consultant and Legal Counsel, you’ll deploy your varied skills and competencies in creating a rewarding career that marries your legal expertise with your desire to have meaningful impact as a consultant to personal injury lawyers, litigants, and casualty company representatives. Some of your time will be spent as a true generalist in-house counsel, part of a team of three other lawyers assisting internal and external stakeholders with legal questions touching the fields of insurance, personal injury, tax, and Estate law. The rest of your time will be spent as a Structured Settlement Consultant, assisting personal injury lawyers and counsel acting for insurers in establishing structured settlements on behalf of injured people.

What do you bring to the role? The right candidate will:

- Work well with a team.
- See the big picture while being detail oriented.
- Communicate effectively. - Give and receive feedback well.
- Be an excellent lawyer – firm, professional, empathetic, and someone your clients love to work with.
- Be curious – love learning.
- Be business-focused, and as eager to solve a problem as to identify one.
- Have kindness as your default setting.
- Have a marketing mindset and be committed to building relationships.

The world of structured settlements is very specialized. We will train the right candidate – there is no requirement that you have experience in a specific area of law. Successful lawyers at McKellar have had backgrounds as diverse as personal injury, corporate law, and commercial litigation.

As a member of the McKellar team, you will thrive in a fast-paced environment, surrounded by ambitious, smart team members. Gone are the days of billable hours or eating what you kill. At McKellar, you’ll be part of a team that values your legal expertise and invests in your development. Compensation is commensurate with experience and will be reviewed at least annually, and our benefits package is very generous.

Qualified applicants should forward a resume/CV and cover letter or statement of interest to Human Resources: recruitment@mckellar.com.
