Work Environment

Nixon Wenger distinguishes itself in many ways - even outside the legal environment. We're considered one of the best corporate citizens in the Okanagan. In 2008, Nixon Wenger was nominated for the Vernon Chamber of Commerce 2008 Employer of the Year.

Events involving both lawyers and staff are arranged on a regular basis and include: an annual golf tournament; a Christmas party; team athletic events with firm-wide fundraising initiatives such as the "Paddle Against Cancer," "Run for the Cure," and "Relay for Life." There's also the occasional evening of "walleyball" and special events such as the recent "Spa Day" that was organized for staff.

Besides being an established, full-service law firm, Nixon Wenger also enjoys the privilege of being located in the Okanagan Valley. The Okanagan is famous for its long, hot summers and dry winters, making it a haven for fruit and wine producers and a popular destination for recreational enthusiasts all year round.



Vernon, in particular, is home to world-class resort facilities for golf and skiing, but also provides an endless array of opportunities for other summer and winter activities, including all manners of water sports, hiking, fishing, bicycling, downhill and cross-country skiing. A lifestyle balanced between work, play and family is not only possible, it is openly encouraged as a fundamental part of the Nixon Wenger credo.

Vernon, the commercial centre of the North Okanagan, is also a thriving interior city, offering all the amenities of larger urban areas, with the added bonus of having wide-open rural and wilderness areas literally minutes away. It is home to a diverse array of industries, ranging from the larger-scale forestry and agriculture sectors to the smaller scale wineries, manufacturing, and services.

A career at Nixon Wenger is a guaranteed combination of an exhilarating legal practice and extraordinary lifestyle opportunities.
