LJ5002	Corporate & Commercial	Sole part-time senior practitioner looking for a lawyer interested in starting to work with me and eventually taking over a practice that involves working with clients in their home or office to discuss estate planning or corporate work. Your work will be completed in your home after meeting with clients in their home. The job involves driving to rural areas and to the small towns in Alberta, south and west of Calgary. This position is for someone who is looking to maintain a part-time practice but their main objective is to continue to provide legal services and maintain their skills in these areas of law, rather than earning significant income to support themselves. The intent is that this will evolve to assuming the practice and clients I currently have. This is a position where you provide assistance and guidance for estate planning, and close connection with your clients, rather than just drafting their wills and other documents. Let me know if you like country driving and the freedom from parking costs and traffic.	Calgary	In-person and remotely	Part-time	English
