We’re working with a well-regarded mid-sized firm in downtown Toronto known for its longstanding client relationships, strong mentorship, and a team-oriented culture.

The Opportunity

This is a full-service role within a robust private client practice. You’ll work with high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners on estate planning, administration, trusts, incapacity matters, and related tax and corporate issues. The team is collaborative, the support is excellent, and you’ll be surrounded by lawyers who are experts in their field — and genuinely nice people.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Drafting wills, trusts, and powers of attorney
  • Advising on estate freezes, succession planning, and cross-border structures
  • Handling probate, estate administration, and post-mortem tax planning
  • Working alongside family law, tax, and corporate lawyers on complex client matters
  • Supporting more junior lawyers and playing a key role in ongoing client relationships
  • Managing estate litigation and contentious matters where needed

What We’re Looking For

  • Substantive experience in one or more of: estate litigation, estate administration, and estate planning
  • Excellent drafting, analytical, and legal research skills
  • A superior work ethic, strong attention to detail, and ability to run files independently
  • Comfort working on complex, high-net-worth matters and supporting senior counsel
  • Interest in mentoring, client development, and contributing to long-term team growth
