Corporate Lawyer (Partnership Track)

Remote People • Montreal, QC

18h • Onsite

About The Position

Our client is a well-established, highly respected boutique law firm in Toronto with a long-standing reputation for excellence in corporate and transactional work. The firm is seeking a senior associate to step into an active desk with a rich mix of private and public company clients. The incoming lawyer will benefit from meaningful existing client exposure, full institutional support, and a genuine, clearly articulated path to partnership — without any expectation that they arrive with their own book of business. An existing following is always welcome, but it is not the basis for this hire.

Requirements

• 5 or more years of call to the Ontario Bar, with substantive corporate transactional experience at a recognized firm
• Strong grounding in private M&A, corporate advisory, and commercial agreements
• The commercial judgment and client-facing presence of a lawyer ready to own a practice — not just execute files
• Genuine interest in building a career at one firm, with a long-term view toward partnership
• A collaborative, low-ego disposition suited to a close-knit boutique environment where relationships matter

Nice To Haves

• public company or securities experience is a meaningful asset
• An existing client following is a welcome complement to this role, though it is not a requirement

Responsibilities

• Advising private and public company clients on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and reorganizations across the full transaction lifecycle
• Negotiating and drafting shareholder agreements, purchase agreements, investment agreements, and a broad range of commercial contracts
• Providing ongoing general corporate counsel to a portfolio of owner-managed businesses, private equity-backed companies, and publicly listed issuers
• Advising public company clients on continuous disclosure obligations, securities regulatory compliance, and corporate governance matters
• Participating meaningfully in business development — building relationships organically over time, not hitting a quota on day one
