You’ve been practicing law for a few years. You’ve seen contracts, closings, and title searches. You know what smooth closings look like and what sloppy ones cost.

You thrive on solving practical legal problems. Drafting a complex purchase agreement excites you. Coordinating between lenders, clients, and other lawyers energizes you. You notice gaps in processes, and while you don’t live in spreadsheets, you instinctively know how a better system would make everyone’s life easier.

You’re ready for the next step: a role where your judgment matters, your files are varied, and your work is supported by strong operations so you can focus on the law, not chasing signatures or cleaning up preventable errors.

What this role actually is

This is a full-practice role for an intermediate lawyer in residential and select commercial property transactions. You’ll handle transactions from contract to closing, advise clients on legal obligations, liaise with lenders, and ensure compliance with Ontario real estate law.

You’ll work with a structured operations team who manages filings, trust account processing, and data entry, so your time is spent on legal work, not administrative firefighting.

You’ll get guidance from senior lawyers while having autonomy to manage your own files. Each deal brings new challenges, and you’ll be supported by systems and processes that let you focus on your clients and your craft.
