Job Description

Managing Real Estate Lawyer

Location: Ontario (Hybrid / Virtual)
Reports to: Principal Lawyer
Firm: Rabideau Law Professional Corporation

Shape the Future of Client-Centric Real Estate Law

At Rabideau Law, we're redefining the modern Canadian law firm.
We're a virtual-tech-enabled practice that integrates real human connection with innovative digital service, ensuring every client feels heard, informed, and empowered.

Our firm is recognized for exceptional service, practical solutions, and deep expertise in real estate and corporate law.

We proudly combine white-glove client care with the agility of a tech-forward model, handling all client calls through a responsive virtual team, running seminars for brokerages and real estate agencies, and building referral networks that fuel long-term relationships.

If you're a business-minded real estate lawyer with a corporate edge, who believes that great lawyering starts with picking up the phone, this is your next big opportunity.

About the Role

We're seeking a Managing Real Estate Lawyer with corporate law experience to lead and grow our Canadian real estate practice under the guidance of the Principal Lawyer.
This role blends leadership, mentorship, and strategic execution, combining high-impact client work with firm development.

What You'll Do

Client Service & Legal Excellence (60%)

Manage residential (90%) and commercial (10%) real estate transactions: purchases, sales, refinances, private mortgages, developments, condo/builder matters, and leasing. Deliver practical, solution oriented advise to clients. Zealously advocate for clients' interests on every closing, balancing protection, efficiency and deal success. Maintain direct, high-touch communication, phone calls and virtual face to face meetings with the staff and clients are the norm, not the exception. Translate complex legal issues into clear, actionable client guidance.

Practice Leadership & Team Growth (10%)

Lead the real estate team, mentoring clerks to deliver consistent, top-tier results. Collaborate with the Operations Manager to enhance quality standards, file workflows, and team accountability. Uphold our client-centric culture, proactive, transparent, and always one step ahead of client needs.

Business Development & Community Engagement (30%)

Build and nurture referral networks through brokerages, lenders, and real estate professionals. Deliver seminars and workshops to brokerages, real estate teams, and investors, positioning Rabideau Law as a thought leader in the industry. Partner with marketing and operations to scale our virtual tech-enabled client intake and service platforms. Champion firm visibility through social media, webinars, and client events that drive long-term pipeline growth.

What You Bring

License in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario (LSO). 5+ years of experience in real estate law (residential + hopefully commercial, exposure to corporate/commercial transactions in a bonus.) A reputation for being solution-oriented, client-focused, and proactive. Confidence in managing clerks and files and building a team culture of excellence. Comfort using cloud-based tools for document management, e-signatures, and client communications. A genuine commitment to relationship-based lawyering, connecting first by calling and emailing later.

Why Join Rabideau Law?

Modern Virtual-Tech Platform: Work seamlessly from anywhere in Ontario, supported by streamlined digital systems, real-time collaboration tools, and an established virtual client intake and scheduling process. Human-Driven, Team-Powered Practice: We are not a "set-it-and-forget-it" automation firm. We pick up the phone. We solve problems together. We deliver intelligent, hands-on client service backed by a cohesive, highly engaged team. Client-First Mindset: Responsiveness, clarity, and follow-through are non-negotiable. We show up, we listen, and we close files with precision and care. Leadership & Growth Opportunities: Play a key role in shaping firm operations, mentoring junior team members, and contributing to strategic decision-making as the firm expands. Mentorship & Professional Development: Direct mentorship from the Principal Lawyer and Operations Manager, focused on high-performance practice management, advocacy skills, and business leadership. Community Visibility & Deal Flow: Benefit from strong industry relationships, regular virtual speaking opportunities, and in-person events with agents, lenders, and investors across Ontario. Performance-Driven Compensation: Competitive salary aligned with experience, plus incentive opportunities tied to client satisfaction and firm success. Hybrid Practice Freedom: Work from anywhere in Southern Ontario, while enjoying in-person collaboration, training sessions, and networking events, as required.
