Toronto, Canada Hansra Law Full time

If you are looking for a fast-paced, positive team environment with professional growth potential, your search ends here. Our Business Law firm is currently offering a full-time position for a Commercial Litigation Associate who exudes positivity and high energy and possesses extensive experience in diverse business litigation cases.

If you don’t know how to be frank with a client about litigation that’s worth it vs. when it is not, then please don’t apply. However, if you truly want to help people solve complex business problems and can approach conversations with maturity and sensitivity, then this position can be highly rewarding to you personally, professionally, and financially.

We are currently seeking a Commercial Litigation Associate who is passionate about solving complex business problems and can engage in discussions with maturity and sensitivity, guaranteeing that clients receive an unparalleled experience with our firm. We need someone who can help us independently take control of litigation matters in our firm while developing legal strategy and communicating effectively with clients while working through their cases. The most important quality you can possess is a great attitude and willingness to roll up your sleeves and get it done when needed.

While we strongly support personal and professional development, we do not have the time to teach you how an Oppression Remedy works, how to come up with creative solutions to litigious problems or overcome your fears of telling a client they have a losing case. However, we will provide you with all the training you need to know how to best help clients.

**Compensation**:
$132 hourly

**Responsibilities**:
**This position will**:

- Manage independently a caseload of diverse commercial litigation matters from start to finish.
- Draft statements of claims and defenses, submit motions, represent clients in court hearings, and facilitate negotiations for settlements with opposing counsel.
- Offer strategic legal and business guidance to clients.
- Uphold litigation deadlines and meticulously organize and maintain the firm's calendars logically and efficiently.

**Qualifications**:

- Possess a genuine passion for litigation and thrive on devising strategic solutions to business challenges.
- Appreciate working with clients who are actually grateful for your help.
- Show the ability to interact with different types of personalities - easygoing and difficult.
- Show empathy towards clients, adept at calming their nerves during stressful situations.
- Excel in handling high-stress cases characterized by tight deadlines and rapid turnarounds.
- Bring extensive courtroom experience and a fearless attitude toward advocating for clients.
- Showcase outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written, adapting seamlessly to various mediums.
- Think on their toes and not be discouraged when things don’t go as planned.
- Understand the importance of policies and procedures.
- Be a team player that consistently acts with respect and integrity.
- Be tech-savvy, and comfortable navigating law firm systems and cloud-based software.

**These items are non-negotiable**:

- You must be available to work and be in the office Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. - Remote opportunities are available.
- Must have 5+ years of experience as a commercial litigator as a lawyer of record.
- You must have strong negotiation, and advocacy, and be extremely detail-oriented.
- You should be able to ring off potential solutions and remedies available to a client immediately upon hearing a set of facts.
- You must be comfortable working with various computer programs, databases, and systems.
- You must be reliable, trustworthy, and able to maintain strict confidentiality.
- You must be a positive, high-energy team player who is results-oriented - No Drama
- You must care about something and have goals in life.
- You must have an L1 Licence in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario
- Real-life experience and a few “battle scars” dealing with tough clients and messy lawsuits.
- Entrepreneurial experience and overcoming a major obstacle in life so you know at your core what our clients are going through is a plus.

The caseload primarily revolves around assisting business owners in navigating various disputes they encounter. This encompasses collection matters, employment disputes, partnership disagreements, and other intricate situations that divert their focus from managing and expanding their businesses.

We may also ask for your input in developing an acquisition strategy for a client if there's pending litigation. We may ask for your insight on drafting correct contract provisions for a growing business. I know, I know. Your job often relies on transactional attorneys messing up the contracts. Don't worry. There will still be plenty of work for you to do in the courtroom.

Prior experience in business litigation is required because we can teach you h
