Toronto | Employment & Workplace Litigation | Hybrid
Minted Search Group partners with 20+ leading mid-sized law firms across the GTA. We believe legal professionals do their best work when their skills, values, and long-term goals align with the right platform.
Our client, a highly regarded Toronto employment and workplace litigation boutique, is seeking an Associate Lawyer with 3+ years of employment litigation experience to join its growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer looking for high-quality advocacy work, direct client exposure, and a modern compensation structure within an entrepreneurial and collaborative environment.
The firm has built a strong reputation in workplace disputes and receives consistent referral work from professionals, executives, and sophisticated individual clients. The practice is primarily plaintiff-side employment litigation, with exposure to broader workplace, disability, and business-related disputes.
The Practice / File Exposure
Lawyers at the firm work on a broad range of matters including:
➡️ Wrongful Dismissal & Constructive Dismissal Claims

➡️ Workplace Investigations & Sensitive Workplace Conflict Matters
➡️ Partnership, Compensation & Business-Related Workplace Disputes
This opportunity is ideal for a lawyer who enjoys a mix of advocacy, strategy, negotiation, and relationship-building — particularly someone who values sophisticated work without the traditional Bay Street structure.
Key Responsibilities

➡️ Work directly with clients on sensitive workplace and career-impacting matters
➡️ Collaborate closely with senior lawyers on litigation strategy and complex disputes
➡️ Participate in business development, networking, and long-term practice growth
➡️ Maintain strong file management and litigation timelines
Qualifications
➡️ 3+ years of employment litigation experience (plaintiff-side strongly preferred)
➡️ Member in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario
➡️ Strong experience with wrongful dismissal, human rights, workplace disputes, and employment litigation
➡️ Excellent written advocacy and client communication skills
➡️ Comfortable managing files independently while working collaboratively within a boutique team
➡️ Strong relationship-building skills and an interest in long-term career growth
➡️ Business development interest or potential considered an asset
What the Firm Offers
