SullivanLaw is looking to hire a litigation lawyer (family and civil law)
Thanks to our recent growth, we are looking for an associate to join the SullivanLaw team. This could be a great opportunity for a new lawyer looking to build their client base in an established small firm, or for a more experienced lawyer who wants the benefits of a small firm without the risks of sole proprietorship.
What the ideal candidate 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
- You are looking forward to building your own book of business over time
- You have great research and writing skills
- You’re well-organized and have an entrepreneurial streak
- You’re interested in having an outlet (like our blog) to post your smart ideas about the law
- You’re a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada
- French language proficiency is an asset but not a requirement
What the position looks like:
- Assist with existing family and civil law cases
- Some solicitor work may be available
- You’ll be expected to build your own book of business – but we can help
- You’ll be expected to keep regular hours (but we don’t expect you to have 80 billable hours a week)
- Remuneration will be based partly on salary, but the big bucks will come with billing and collection
- You may have to water the plants from time to time. The upside is that we have free snacks.
Does this sound like something you’d be interested in? Would you like to discuss the finer points? Please send a cover letter and C.V. to the attention of Rebecca Lewis before May 15, 2017. References will be requested at an interview. We will also ask for a sample of your legal writing.
Get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
