Family Law Clerk, Toronto, 4 Days Remote

Your new company

This modern and prominent family law firm is a destination for some of the most high-profile and highly publicized family law cases in Canada.

Its new downtown Toronto office is bright and features some best-in-class amenities that employees have access to and use of (free of charge), including a gym.

Your new role

With such an well regarded reputation, vacancies at this firm are rare. However, a senior Associate is looking for an intermediate to senior Law Clerk to support her practice.

Clerks typically function as hybrid Assistants and Law Clerks at this firm to better ensure they have a full picture of the practice and take full ownership over the work.

In this 1:1 share with a Senior Associate, you will be responsible for the following:

Preparing drafting and reviewing legal documents, such as:
Affidavit of Service
Financial Statements
Net Family Property Statements
Motions
Conference briefs
Confirmations, and correspondence
Prepare and maintain client files
Preparing files for court
Obtaining and assembling disclosure
Scheduling Lawyer’s meetings and other events
Communications with client, opposing counsel, and third parties
Transcription of letters, memos, and documents
Closing files

What you'll need to succeed

We are looking for Law Clerks with 5 or more years of experience in a family law practice, ideally working exclusively with private clients. Past experience working with a Senior Associate or Partner is strongly preferred.

A keen attention to detail is a MUST in this office and being able to anticipate the Lawyer's needs while thinking two steps ahead will ensure your success.

What you'll get in return

The Partners at this firm have a very modern approach to work and are proud to offer 4 remote working days per week. Salary is commensurate with experience, ranging from $80,000-95,000 with 4 weeks of vacation. In addition to the free gym membership offered by the building, candidates will receive medical benefits that are covered fully by the firm.
