Associate Lawyer (Generalist) with 5-8+ years PQE

Build Your Practice. Grow Your Future. Live Better in Humboldt.

Weber & Gasper has served Humboldt and east-central Saskatchewan since 1995. We are seeking an experienced general-practice Associate Lawyer who wants to become a trusted advisor to local families, farmers, landowners and businesses and enjoy a rewarding life outside the office. Our newly renovated, modern Humboldt office combines an exceptional professional workspace with decades of local legal history. We are looking for a lawyer who appreciates rural Saskatchewan, values strong community relationships, and wants the professional opportunities and amenities of a growing regional city. The opportunity includes working with large and growing farm businesses on land transactions, financing, succession, and corporate matters: substantial work from a growing regional center.

Why is this opportunity right for you?

Live in a welcoming, vibrant, and growing small Saskatchewan city with generally more attainable housing and lower everyday costs than major urban centres like Saskatoon or Regina;
Trade a long daily commute for more time with family, friends, recreation, and community involvement;
Develop enduring relationships in a community where clients know their lawyer and referrals matter;
Work from a newly renovated, modern office with an established history and local reputation;
Work with large farms that are getting larger, alongside local families and businesses, on significant property, financing, succession, and commercial matters;
Enjoy the autonomy and visibility of a local practice without having to build every operational system alone.

What is the practice?

We are looking for a skilled and experienced generalist. Your practice should include several of the areas below. You are not expected to practice in all of them; we will discuss how your strengths fit the office’s clients and the wider group.

Residential, commercial, and agricultural real estate, financing and conveyancing;
Wills, powers of attorney, estate administration, probate and succession planning;
Civil litigation and dispute resolution;
Family law, including separation, parenting, support, and property matters;
Corporate and commercial law, including business transactions;
Employment law, workplace advice, and employment disputes.

Who will thrive at Weber & Gasper?

A lawyer with at least 5 years of post-call experience, but exceptional candidates with 8+ years of generalist experience are also encouraged to apply;
We particularly welcome a lawyer from Humboldt or the surrounding area, with a rural background, established local connections, and a genuine understanding and appreciation of rural people and rural life but comfortable living in a small city. You must bring an established private practice that you have built and maintained. You know how to manage files, serve clients, and develop business in a law firm. You now want to grow that practice with better support, effective delegation and less administrative work. Firm clients and referrals will supplement and broaden the practice you bring.
Strong drafting, file management, negotiation, client communication and professional judgment;
Comfort handling matters independently while knowing when to collaborate or refer a specialist issue;
A service-oriented approach, commercial awareness, and the drive to build lasting client relationships;
A commitment to the Procido Standard of Excellence, which includes among other things: responsible file economics, effective delegation, timely billing, collections follow-through, and excellent client outcomes.

How will I be supported in Humboldt?

Weber & Gasper Law Office retains its own legal identity and local client relationships. Procido Management Inc., as leader of the Procido Group of law firms, provides the following centralized operational support:

Billing and collections support from the accounts manager, including oversight of monthly trust and bank-account reports;
Accounting support from the in-house accountant, including bank-account oversight and reconciliations; separate trust accounts and records are maintained for each firm;
Payroll, benefits and employment-remittance administration for local support staff through Procido Management Inc.;
Human resources and management support from the Chief Administrative Officer and Managing Partner;
Local legal-assistant support, supported by the group’s employment administration;

Group-wide marketing, a new website, dedicated IT troubleshooting, cybersecurity services, and standardized document systems are part of the shared services provided in Humboldt.

Will I make an impact?

This is not a satellite desk or a narrow specialist position. For a seasoned lawyer with initiative and ambition looking for a change, Humboldt offers a rare chance to become a leading local advisor. You will be a visible Humboldt lawyer: meeting clients, leading files, earning trust, developing referral relationships and growing a financially successful general practice. You will have the opportunity to work closely with senior and experienced local lawyers Russ Weber and Tabbetha Gasper.

What is the compensation?

Annual base salary is negotiable, and will depend on factors including: experience, areas of practice, and the practice you bring. The Firm also has performance incentives under the Associate Compensation Guidelines including:

graduated bonuses of 20%–45% on credited collected legal fees over and above defined thresholds;
origination incentives for qualifying work delegated to colleagues;
performance-based salary reviews; and
discretionary recognition for exceptional contribution.

Eligibility and payment are governed by the Associate Compensation Guidelines which can be disclosed and discussed with the right candidate.

What is the career progression?

Build toward Senior Associate, with the possibility of purchasing shares in Weber & Gasper Law Office Inc. This opportunity depends on performance, suitability, and separately negotiated terms.
