Your new company  

Our client is a top-tier Canadian law firm recognized for its strength in corporate and transactional law, acting on many of the market’s most complex and high-profile deals. With a deeply established presence in Toronto, the firm is known for combining sophisticated legal work with a collaborative and team-oriented culture.

The Corporate group is one of the firm’s largest and most active practice areas, offering exposure to a broad range of transactions across industries. Law clerks here are viewed as integral members of the deal team, working closely with experienced lawyers and leadership on meaningful, high-value work.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a firm that values professional growth, mentorship, and continuous development, while maintaining a supportive environment that encourages adaptability and fresh perspectives.

Your new role  

As a Corporate Law Clerk, you will play a key role in supporting a large team of corporate lawyers on transactional matters. This position is heavily focused on corporate transactions, with minimal exposure to tax-related work.

You will be responsible for:

• Managing corporate transactional matters including incorporations, amalgamations, mergers, reorganizations, and continuances
• Handling docketing and maintaining accurate corporate records and minute books
• Preparing and reviewing corporate documentation and resolutions
• Supporting transactions from start to finish, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met

• Minimum 5+ years of experience as a Corporate Law Clerk, ideally within a law firm environment
• Strong exposure to sophisticated transactional corporate work (including mergers and amalgamations)
• Proven experience with docketing and corporate records management
• Background in private practice is strongly preferred; candidates coming directly from in-house environments are less aligned with the needs of this team
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment while maintaining exceptional attention to detail
• An adaptable and growth-oriented mindset, ideal for someone in the intermediate to senior (5–10 year) range

What you'll get in return  

• Competitive salary: $95,000 – $145,000 (commensurate with experience)
• RRSP matching program
• Billable target: 1,200 hours
• Discretionary bonus
• 4 weeks of vacation
• Comprehensive benefits (effective after 90 days):
• Individual coverage fully paid by the firm
• Dependent coverage available at employee cost
• Hybrid work model: 2 days in-office (with potential for 3 depending on business needs)
• Opportunity to work alongside a high-performing corporate team on complex, high-value transactions in a collegial and supportive environment
