Ontario - General Commercial Lawyer

WHO WE AREFor over 20 years, Caravel Law has pioneered a different kind of law firm in Canada. Our lawyers combine Big Law training with in-house experience, and embed directly with clients to deliver sophisticated, business-minded counsel without the overhead, hierarchy, or billable hours targets of traditional firms.
We work alongside General Counsel, the C-suite, and founders to build scalable legal capacity where and when it is needed. We don't measure success in hours billed. We measure it in deals closed, risks avoided and businesses built. At Caravel, you can design your work around your life, while laying the foundation for a meaningful, rewarding career.
WHY CARAVEL
Control over your practice. Full-time or reduced schedule, your call. No billable hour targets, no lockstep, no partnership tournament, and compensation that reflects the work you do.
Work at your level. Senior mandates and direct client contact, without the internal machinery that dilutes both.
Focus on the work. Business development, marketing, conflicts, engagement management, and billing are handled. You practise;
we run the firm.
A strong community. Work with peers who bring some of the strongest in-house and law firm experience in the country, and a supportive team dedicated to the success, connection, and well-being of every lawyer at the firm.
A firm built to innovate. We offer a dedicated legal innovation function and AI-enabled delivery, because our clients expect us to be ahead of them.
Strong trajectory. Two decades in, Caravel is growing faster than at any point in its history, with a national bench and sophisticated client engagements that keep expanding.
