We are looking for a family lawyer with, ideally, 2+ years experience in family law (we may consider slightly less if your experience is substantial, particularly if you articled in a family law firm). Strong litigation and family law experience is a must. Candidate must have substantial knowledge of the Family Law Rules.

We are a collegial firm with locations in Barrie and Toronto with a growing family law practice. The family law department is located in Barrie. We require someone willing and prepared to take on work while working under the management of our senior family law lawyer. Your responsibilities would include:

• Maintaining and moving forward files under supervision;
• Appearances in Superior and Ontario court of Justice on Motions and Conferences;
• Meeting with clients to perform tasks related to moving matters forward;
• Taking on files; and
• Attending at court in Barrie, Orillia, Newmarket, Bracebridge, and beyond if required.

Required skills:

• Good knowledge of Family Law Rules and timelines in family law;
• Good oral and written advocacy skills;
• Strong family law instincts and experience;
• Collegial attitude towards clients;
• A desire to build a family law practice with unlimited earning potential and business possibility;
• Lawyer in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario;
• Good time management and organizational skills;
• Superior judgment and decision making skills;
• A willingness to travel if needed;

This is an excellent opportunity for the right person, particularly a business minded lawyer looking to establish their own successful practice within the context of the larger firm. The successful candidate will have a passion for Family Law, strong written and oral communication skills. Maturity, good judgment, and self-motivation are essential.

In return you will receive an excellent percentage of billable hours as compensation, challenging and interesting work, excellent support staff, independence and flexibility, as well as a friendly work environment.

In addition, you will receive, among other things:

• A full and private office in a beautiful century home building in downtown Barrie with a great location within 5 minutes' walking distance to the Barrie courthouse;
• Hybrid work from home opportunities with minimal supervision and a "set your own hours" approach to your practice;
• Family law mentoring and mentoring from other senior lawyers in the firm;
• Cutting edge family law software using LEAP and Divorce Mate Cloud;
• A full accounting and billing department with professional bookkeeping and accounting;
• Senior law clerk, courteous and kind client care receptionist and call answering service so that no calls and communications to your practice are missed;
• A supportive work environment and law firm team who cares;
• Westlaw Canada subscription for legal research (in our view, the best legal research subscription);
• Exposure on the firm website as well as other advertising of your practice; and
• Computer and laptop.
