Job Description

LexNiti Law Professional Corporation is a fast-growing, full-service law firm in Toronto. We pride ourselves on delivering effective, personalized legal solutions across multiple practice areas, including immigration, refugee law, judicial review, real estate, family law, business law, small claims, landlord-tenant, and criminal matters.

We are seeking a dedicated, dynamic, and resourceful Legal Assistant to join us full-time. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys variety, and wants hands-on exposure to every aspect of running and growing a law practice.

You will work directly with counsel to assist on immigration and refugee files, including judicial reviews, IAD and RAD appeals, and all categories of immigration applications. You will also provide support on a wide range of other legal matters, manage office operations, and contribute to the firm's day-to-day workflow.

This position is in-office (Downtown Toronto) and requires a motivated self-starter who can wear multiple hats - legal, administrative, and operational.

Assist in preparing, reviewing, and organizing immigration applications, affidavits, and appeal materials (IAD, RAD, and Federal Court). Support counsel in judicial review matters, including document preparation, scheduling, and record compilation. Manage client communication, scheduling, and file organization through Clio and related software. Draft correspondence, forms, submissions, and legal memoranda under supervision. Conduct legal research on immigration, family, and civil matters. Maintain detailed tracking of case timelines, deadlines, and court appearances. Perform general administrative duties, including managing calls, emails, mail, and office supplies. Coordinate document filing, scanning, and client intake documentation. Provide assistance across other practice areas (family, real estate, business, landlord-tenant, and small claims) as needed.

Experience in immigration law (mandatory) -- especially in applications, refusals, judicial review, IAD/RAD, and refugee matters. Knowledge or exposure to other legal areas (family, real estate, LTB, small claims, business law, criminal) is an asset. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Proficiency in Hindi or Punjabi is a strong asset. Highly organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable to a fast-changing workload. Strong computer literacy (MS Office, AI, Adobe, Google Workspace, Clio or similar). Positive attitude, self-driven, and comfortable taking initiative. Ability to commute daily to downtown Toronto (in-office position).

This is not just a job - it's a career launchpad for aspiring legal professionals who want deep, practical experience. At LexNiti Law, you will:

Gain hands-on exposure to every area of legal practice. Learn how to run and manage a law firm from the inside. Receive personal mentorship from a practicing lawyer on legal strategy, file management, and advocacy. Get guidance and support with your NCA, bar exams, and licensing process. Build professional skills that go far beyond traditional assistant roles - from client relations to case management. Work in an environment that values growth, initiative, and lifelong learning.
