At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

Allstate Canada is actively looking to hire a talented and motivated Associate Trial Lawyer to join our Claims Litigation Team. As an Junior Associate Trial Lawyer, you will manage your own files from inception through to resolution and completion. Additionally, you will collaborate closely with Senior Lawyers on more complex files, gaining valuable experience and insight that will enhance your professional development and legal expertise.
