Job Description

Join Powell Litigation, an exciting and growing litigation practice in Toronto!

We are seeking an excellent law clerk to support our roster of litigation lawyers.

Powell Litigation is a mid-size litigation firm that assists individuals and small to medium-sized businesses with a host of interesting litigation matters, including real estate disputes, business disputes, defamation, and debt collection.

The successful candidate will receive extended health benefits, vision benefits, dental care, a small life insurance policy, interesting and challenging work, and friendly and helpful co-workers.

What We Are Looking For

The right person will be friendly, professional, and have impeccable attention to detail.

They will also be a hard worker, a good writer, and the sort of self-starter that doesn't require supervision to do a great job.

If we had to tell you who we are looking for, we would say we're looking for Laura 2.0.

Laura was Powell Litigation's first hire, a freshly graduated law clerk from Cambridge, Ontario. She worked dutifully at the firm before moving abroad.

Laura commuted from Cambridge every day to our office in Toronto. Despite this hour and a half commute, she was never late. Not once. In fact, she was usually early so she could hit the ground running.

When no one else was around, rather than looking at Instagram, she took the initiative and did her work. She's driven and required no supervision. She's a friendly person who takes great pride in her work and supported Powell Litigation's vision of becoming the best litigation boutique in Toronto. She's also a damn good writer.

Are you like Laura?

What Your Day to Day Would Look Like

Every case is new and interesting. You would be responsible for assisting the lawyers with drafting and filing various documents, including Claims, Defences, Costs Outlines, and Affidavits of Documents.

You would also assist in scheduling various court dates, including examinations for discovery, motions, pre-hearings, and trials.

We only hire top performers at Powell Litigation. If hired, you will be a part of one of the best legal teams in Canada.
