We’re looking for an associate to join SullivanLaw. This could be a great opportunity for a new lawyer interested private practice at a small litigation firm. Or, this may be of interest to a more experienced lawyer who wants the benefits of a small firm without the risks of sole proprietorship.

What the ideal new associate looks like:

• Interested in litigation, principally family and civil (but other areas are available)
• Someone who wants to join an active, thriving practice but would also like some work/life balance, too
• Someone looking forward to building a book of business
• Someone who has some clients and prospects already
• Someone with great research and writing skills
• Is well-organized and has an entrepreneurial streak
• Is interested in having an outlet (like our blog) to post one’s smart ideas about the law
• Is called to the Bar in Ontario
• French language proficiency is an asset but not a requirement

What the position looks like:

• The Associate will assist with existing family and civil litigation files
• Some solicitor work may be available to keep things interesting
• The Associate will be expected to build a book of business but we can help
• We expect excellence and diligence, not perfection, in our service to clients
• Remuneration will be based partly on salary, but the big bucks will come as the practice grows
• You may have to water the plants from time to time. The upside is that we have free snacks
