About NOVA Injury Law
NOVA Injury Law is a plaintiff-side personal injury firm built around one goal: helping injured people get fair compensation, faster. We pride ourselves on practical advocacy, deep medical integration, and delivering results without delay. We’re growing fast—and looking for the right people to grow with us.
The Role: Support Lawyer – Litigation
We are hiring a Support Lawyer to work directly with the firm’s file handling lawyers on complex litigation files. This is not a file-carrying position. Instead, you will play a key assist role—drafting pleadings, preparing and attending discoveries, researching key legal issues, quantifying claims, brief drafting, and helping build winning cases. The Support Lawyer will also help supervise the pre-litigation department.
This position is ideal for a lawyer who wants meaningful litigation experience without the pressures of managing a full caseload.
What You’ll Do
-Draft pleadings, affidavits, discovery questions, mediation briefs, and legal submissions
-Conduct legal research and summarize medical and expert reports
-Assist in trial prep, including evidence organization and document review
-Attend discoveries, mediations, and hearings, mainly as second chair
-Communicate with clients and experts to support case development
-Help drive litigation strategy with a focus on results and efficiency
-Help supervise Case Managers handling pre-litigation files
What We’re Looking For
-1–4 years of post-call experience (civil litigation or personal injury preferred)
-Strong legal writing and research skills
-Comfortable managing shifting priorities in a fast-paced litigation environment
-Detail-oriented, organized, and responsive
-Licensed and in good standing with a Canadian law society (NS preferred)
-No ego, no drama—just a team player who wants to build great cases and achieve great results for injury victims and disabled workers.
What We Offer
-Competitive salary based on experience
-No billable targets—focus on quality and results for clients, not hours
-Mentorship and training from a senior litigation lawyer
-Growth opportunities as your skills and role evolve
-Access to expert resources, litigation technology, and a modern office environment
