Join Us!

We are an established criminal defence firm with a strong reputation and a genuinely good workplace culture. We take a human approach to law — client-centred, practical, and grounded — and we believe in people over profit. Doing excellent work for clients and treating people well are not competing values here.

Our office is collaborative, easy-going but professional, high-trust/high-autonomy, team-oriented, and low-ego. We value efficiency, systems thinking, and smart use of technology (including AI), to reduce friction, improve client service, and free lawyers up to focus on actual lawyering. We care about outcomes, not face time.

Our team genuinely likes each other — the kind of place where people hang out after work and go to the gym together… without it being a cult. As we expand into family law, protecting this culture is just as important as financial performance.

We regularly receive high-quality family law inquiries, many of which overlap with criminal matters. Rather than referring these files out, we are building a family law practice within the firm.

This is not a junior role and not a training position. We are looking for an experienced, motivated family lawyer who wants to build and lead a family law department inside a stable, collegial firm — with clear metrics, real autonomy, and a defined path to leadership and long-term partnership.

If you are looking for a low-responsibility role, this will not be a fit. If you want to build something meaningful, with support and a clear path to equity, it may be.

Our preference is for team members to be meaningfully integrated into the firm and its culture. In-office collaboration matters to us. Hybrid or partially remote arrangements may be considered for the right person. For candidates based outside the area, this would typically involve regular in-office time of at least 2.5 days/week with flexibility around the remainder. Fully remote is not the goal.

Family law experience is required, but we are flexible on formal years of call. Candidates with fewer than three years’ call will be considered if they have equivalent, meaningful experience (e.g., significant file responsibility, contested hearings, trials, or high-volume practice). The key requirement is competence and independence, not a specific number.

We’re a genuinely diverse office — culturally, linguistically, and in how people found their way into the profession. Many of us are immigrants or children of immigrants, and several of us were foreign-trained.

If your name is hard to pronounce, you’ve had to explain your credentials more than once, or your résumé doesn’t fit a neat box, that won’t count against you here. We understand that experience, because it’s our experience too.

Do good work. Be a good human. Everything else is secondary.
