Locum #2019-LO010

Location: Edmonton
Area of Law: Residential Real Estate Conveyancing

“Hello. I am a sole practitioner in the area of residential real estate conveyancing with an office in Edmonton. I am going on vacation from April 2, 2019 until April 18, 2019. I am looking for a lawyer to handle my files so that I can have a vacation. Very low volume. I need someone to check my mail and incoming matters and to handle any unexpected matters. I don’t have an assistant. I already have an alternate responsible lawyer who can issue cheques from my trust account – you just need to print the cheque for signing. You would not likely have to do anything – maybe 1-2 hours a day. I have a home office where you can work. I am suggesting $75/hr.”
