Dentons is designed to be different. Our firm leads the way in a rapidly changing legal marketplace. We challenge the status quo and deliver consistent results as well as uncompromising quality and value to our clients. Our global presence is renowned as a firm with over 21,000 individuals in more than 200 offices serving clients across 80+ countries. This role is an opportunity for you to join the world’s largest law firm, a firm that offers opportunities to build your career while growing your skills and deepening your expertise.

Dentons Canada is currently seeking a Senior Conflicts Attorney / Lawyer to join their Canada Conflicts team. No experience of the applicable Canadian professional rules is needed – training in the applicable Canadian professional rules will be provided. In a fully remote position, Dentons Canada currently seeks a US-based candidate with substantive and significant conflicts experience – at least 5 years – under the US (or Canada or SRA) rules at preferably an international business, or large national, law firm. The ability to search from scratch, and perform substantive conflicts analysis, is key. Intapp experience is highly desirable. Dentons Canada is open to you working remotely from the US. Relocation to Canada assisted by the Firm may be a possibility for the right candidate and depending on the circumstances. Working primarily from and with the Office of the General Counsel in the Canada Region, the Senior Conflicts Attorney/ Lawyer will assist with potential conflict of interest issues firm wide while playing an integral role in the firm’s client-matter intake process. Ideally, you will have practised law at a leading global law firm (although this is not essential); and while preference will be given to those in the Pacific time zone, all time zones will be considered.

At Dentons Canada, inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) are not just ancillary values, they are foundational to our business. We believe that ID&E is essential to the shared success of our team and our clients. As a testament to our commitment to ID&E, we have been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for 13 consecutive years (2011-2023), as well as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People (2024) for the seventh time.
