Original job description
Family Law Associate(s) – 3+ Years | GTA North / Hybrid
$110,000–$150,000 (3–5 years) | $150,000+ (6+ years)
Our client, an established and growing family law boutique in the GTA North, is looking to add experienced family lawyers to its team.
This is an opportunity for a family lawyer who wants high-quality work, meaningful responsibility for clients and files, reasonable targets, strong support and greater autonomy - without sacrificing mentorship or collaboration.
The Opportunity
The firm has a sophisticated, full-service family law practice involving parenting and decision-making, child and spousal support, property division, domestic contracts, and complex financial and litigation matters.
Lawyers have meaningful carriage of their own files while working alongside experienced family law practitioners, law clerks and administrative professionals.
The firm is open to lawyers at different stages of their careers:
3–5 Years: Lawyers looking to deepen their family law experience, take on greater responsibility and continue developing with significant mentorship, guidance and support.
6+ Years: More senior lawyers who can independently manage sophisticated matters and are interested in playing a meaningful role in the continued growth of the practice, including mentoring more junior lawyers.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of post-call family law experience in Ontario
- Experience with contested and negotiated family matters
- Strong advocacy, drafting, analytical and negotiation skills
- Sound judgment and a practical, client-focused approach
- Ability to independently manage files and client relationships appropriate to your experience
- A collaborative and collegial approach to practice
Compensation & Benefits
• 3–5 years: $110,000–$150,000
• 6+ years: $150,000+
- Comprehensive health, dental and vision benefits covered by the firm
- Law Society and LawPRO fees covered by the firm
- Remote-work options
- Professional development opportunities
- Strong law-clerk and administrative support
For more senior lawyers, an existing client following is welcomed but not required.
The firm is also expanding its law-clerk and administrative team. An established lawyer–clerk team interested in exploring a move together would be welcomed.
The firm values an inclusive workplace and lawyers who are like-minded, but not single-minded - people who share a commitment to excellent work and client service while bringing different experiences, perspectives and approaches to the practice.
