Intern / Family Law and Youth Protection Lawyer (Chicoutimi and Alma)

Who are we?

At Devichy Lawyers, our mission is to help individuals overcome their legal problems. While some law firms serve businesses or municipalities, we are truly focused on the human aspect of our concerns.

Pioneers in remote work, we offer flexibility and autonomy in managing your time and cases. The billable hours requested are very reasonable: you won't spend your evenings at the office!

Our business model is "lean": no heavy bureaucracy, but a young, modern, and accessible management team. Our growth has recently allowed us to appoint our first partners.

Devichy Lawyers has become, since its founding in May 2019, the law firm with the largest team in family law in Quebec. We have 14 office locations across the province of Quebec.

The Opportunity

We are looking for lawyers or interns at the Quebec Bar in family law and youth protection who are passionate about joining our team. The positions to be filled are located in the Chicoutimi and Alma regions. We are looking for lawyers with 1 to 40 years of experience in this field. Travel to neighboring districts may be possible depending on needs.

You will have your own interesting cases from the start that you will manage from A to Z.

At Devichy Lawyers, we strive to continuously improve your daily life. We also believe that work should be much more than just a professional occupation. That's why we are committed to creating an inclusive professional environment where we value your uniqueness, embody our principles, and highlight meaningful moments.
