About the Opportunity

Our client, a respected mid-sized Toronto law firm, is seeking a Litigation Law Clerk to join its Commercial Litigation team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated legal professional with 3+ years of litigation experience to take on a hands-on, client-facing role supporting complex commercial disputes. You'll work closely with experienced litigators on a broad range of matters, including contractual disputes, shareholder issues, insolvency, and professional negligence claims — while gaining deeper exposure to e-discovery and advanced litigation technology.

  • Mediation Briefs, Settlement Offers, and Trial Records
  • Costs Outlines, Appeal materials, and related documents
  • Ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable court practices.

E-Discovery & Legal Technology

  • Support and manage the e-discovery process, including collection, processing, review, and production of electronic records.
  • Utilize e-discovery platforms (e.g., Relativity, Everlaw, CaseLines, Summation) for document review and management.
  • Assist with data organization, coding, redaction, and privilege review.
  • Collaborate with internal IT and external vendors to ensure efficient, defensible data handling.

Court Filings & Procedures

  • Prepare, issue, and e-file court documents with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal.
  • Track and monitor critical filing deadlines and limitation periods.

Discovery & Trial Preparation

  • Coordinate discoveries, prepare summaries, manage productions, and liaise with experts and witnesses.
  • Assist in preparing digital and physical trial binders and courtroom materials for in-person and virtual hearings.

Client & Lawyer Support

  • Communicate directly with clients, opposing counsel, and third parties to support case progression.
  • Manage deadlines, provide case updates, and ensure exceptional client service

Qualifications

  • Law Clerk Diploma or equivalent education.
  • 3+ years of litigation experience, ideally within commercial litigation.
  • Strong understanding of the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure and court filing requirements.
  • Proficiency in MS Office, legal practice management software (e.g., PC Law, ACL, or Clio), and court e-filing systems.
  • Experience using e-discovery tools and document management software.
  • Excellent drafting, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple complex files with accuracy and attention to detail.
