Job Description
Senior Family Lawyer (5+ Years)
GTA | In-Office / Hybrid (Firm Dependent)
We’re working with a mid-sized, full-service firm in the GTA looking to add a Senior Family Lawyer to its growing group.
This is a strong platform for someone who wants real file ownership, consistent advocacy work, and the ability to build within a supportive structure — without getting boxed in.
The Role
➡ Run a full caseload of family law matters (divorce, custody/access, support, property/equalization) end-to-end
➡ Draft pleadings, financial statements, affidavits, conference briefs, motion materials, and separation agreements
➡ Appear regularly before the Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice
➡ Lead case conferences, settlement conferences, and trial management conferences
➡ Handle contested motions and negotiate resolutions
➡ Take matters through to trial where required
➡ Work through financial issues: disclosure, income analysis, support calculations, business valuations
➡ Engage in mediation and arbitration processes
➡ Collaborate with tax, estates, and corporate groups on more complex / HNW matters
What They’re Looking For
➡ 5+ years’ Ontario family law experience
➡ Strong command of the Family Law Rules, Divorce Act, and Family Law Act
➡ Proven ability to run files independently from intake through resolution / trial
➡ Comfortable in court: conferences, motions, advocacy
➡ Strong drafting across both litigation materials and agreements
➡ Experience with complex financial issues is a strong asset
➡ Partial or full portable practice is an asset (not required at all firms)
➡ Interest in mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to growth
The Platform
➡ Established referral flow + internal cross-referrals
➡ Strong administrative and law clerk support
➡ Collaborative group with good partner access
➡ Opportunity to take ownership of files and client relationships
➡ Room to grow into a more senior / leadership role over time
Comp & Structure
➡ Competitive base + bonus structure
➡ Full benefits package
➡ Paid vacation + personal days
➡ Ongoing development and support
