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
