SullivanLaw is looking to add a litigation associate to its practice.

This could be a fantastic opportunity for a junior lawyer interested in a litigation practice, or a more experienced lawyer with his or her own practice who needs a place to call home.

If you have a passion for litigation, problem-solving and watering office plants, consider joining SullivanLaw. We can discuss employment or if you prefer to remain more autonomous, we can discuss options.

What the position offers:

• A good working environment and culture that believes in a healthy work/life balance
• Internal referrals and billable work on existing family and civil litigation files
• Some solicitor work may be available to keep things interesting
• As much mentorship as you want or can stand
• Office resources to accomplish the tasks
• During the COVID-19 pandemic, accommodations for a safe and practical work environment

What the ideal lawyer brings:

• Interest in litigation, principally family and civil (but other areas are available)
• A desire to join a thriving practice but would also like some work/life balance, too
• A book of business or eagerness to building a practice
• Research and writing skills
• Good organizational skills
• An entrepreneurial streak

What we expect:

• Excellence and diligence, not perfection, in service to clients
• You will take the practice of law and the obligations lawyers have seriously, but do not take yourself too seriously
• You may have to water the plants from time to time. The upside is that we have snacks
• You are a paid-up member of the Law Society of Ontario
• French or other language proficiency is an asset but not a requirement

Does this sound like you?

Please send a cover letter and C.V. to the attention of Rebecca at clerk@sullivanlaw.ca. References will be requested at an interview and we’ll also ask you for a sample of your legal writing.

Get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
