The Opportunity

A growing Toronto law firm is seeking an experienced Corporate Law Clerk to join its Corporate & Commercial practice.

This role is ideal for a Corporate Law Clerk who enjoys working closely with lawyers and clients on a broad range of corporate matters and is looking for increased responsibility, variety, and long-term professional growth.

The successful candidate will play an integral role in supporting corporate transactions, maintaining corporate records, and assisting clients throughout the corporate lifecycle. You will work closely with experienced lawyers and business clients in a collaborative, professional, and fast-paced environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Corporate Law Clerk who wants to take ownership of their work, contribute to a growing practice, and build meaningful professional relationships.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than a traditional law clerk position. You will have the opportunity to work directly with experienced corporate lawyers and participate in a broad range of transactions for entrepreneurial, privately held, and growing businesses.

What You Can Expect

• Meaningful involvement in corporate transactions from start to finish.
• Direct collaboration with lawyers and clients.
• Exposure to a broad range of corporate and commercial matters.
• A supportive hybrid work environment.
• Opportunities for continued learning and professional development.
• A collaborative and team-oriented culture.

• Assisting with amalgamations, continuances, dissolutions, and other corporate changes.
• Conducting and coordinating corporate due diligence for transactions.
• Supporting share and asset purchase transactions.
• Assisting with financing transactions and commercial arrangements.
• Preparing and organizing transaction closing documents.
• Assisting lawyers with transaction closings and post-closing matters.
• Communicating with clients, lawyers, and other professionals.
• Managing multiple files and deadlines while ensuring accuracy and attention to detail.

This position offers exposure to a wide variety of corporate work while allowing you to develop strong expertise in corporate record management and transactional support.

Who We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate is an organized, proactive, and detail-oriented professional with strong technical corporate law experience and a commitment to providing exceptional client service.

You are comfortable managing files independently, solving problems, prioritizing deadlines, and working collaboratively with lawyers and clients to achieve practical business outcomes.

Qualifications

• Law Clerk diploma or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of corporate law clerk experience, preferably within a law firm environment.
• Strong knowledge of corporate procedures under the Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA) and Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA).
• Experience with:
  • Incorporations
  • Corporate reorganizations
  • Annual corporate maintenance and filings
  • Share and asset purchase transactions
  • Corporate record management
  • Transactional support
  • Corporate due diligence
• Excellent organizational and file-management skills.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
• Professional written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong client-service skills.

• Comprehensive benefits.
• Professional development opportunities.
