WHY JOIN US
Where serious lawyers
do serious work.
Gudmundseth Mickelson is a boutique litigation firm where people do serious, high-quality work in a collaborative and genuinely collegial environment. Our practice includes complex civil disputes and high-consequence matters, including Charter and quasi-criminal issues. The work is intellectually demanding and varied, and the standard is consistently high, but our culture is grounded, respectful, and supportive.
What we look for
We look for litigators and future litigators with sharp judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the discipline to produce excellent work. The strongest candidates combine rigorous analysis with practical, outcome-driven thinking. They write clearly, stay organized, and communicate with clients in a way that is responsive, steady, and easy to understand. Just as important, they are good people to work with: collaborative, kind, professional, and committed to doing things the right way.
Associate and Articling Positions
We welcome applications for summer, articling, and junior associate positions from candidates with strong academic records and a genuine interest in litigation. You can expect close mentorship, meaningful responsibility, and real involvement in files, including strategy, discovery, and court work where appropriate. If you care about excellent writing, thoughtful advocacy, and improving your craft, please submit your resume and law school transcripts to careers@lawgm.com.
Lateral Litigators
Our practice is challenging, fast-paced, and demanding, and it is also deeply rewarding for lawyers who love advocacy and want to keep getting better. We work closely as a team, take preparation seriously, and keep standards high without ego or unnecessary bureaucracy. We offer meaningful responsibility, strong mentorship, and the opportunity to focus on becoming an exceptional litigator without the expectation of building a book of business early.
Business Professionals
Our business professionals are essential to the quality of our client service. We rely on organized, detail-oriented team members to keep matters moving, support lawyers and clients through demanding timelines, and maintain the high standards our work requires. If you are calm under pressure, take pride in precise, dependable work, and enjoy being part of a close-knit team, you will find a respectful, welcoming environment where your contributions are valued.
We welcome applications from legal assistants, paralegals, accounting and finance professionals, and other operations and administrative roles that support a litigation practice. Please send your resume to careers@lawgm.com.
