We are excited to support the recruitment of a Legal Assistant for a well-respected, established law firm recognized for its professionalism, trust, and welcoming, family-oriented culture. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a small, close-knit team and wants to contribute to a supportive and positive work environment.
In this role, you’ll provide critical support to a Partner across a variety of files, with a primary focus on Family Law and Civil Litigation. This is more than a traditional administrative role—our ideal candidate is confident, experienced, and capable of managing files independently, performing responsibilities akin to a paralegal.
Key Responsibilities

- Support occasional litigation files in Commercial Civil, Real Estate, Aboriginal Law, and limited Criminal matters.
- Prepare, draft, and manage court documents and correspondence.
- Organize and maintain client files and deadlines.
- Liaise professionally with clients, courts, and other parties.
- Provide reliable and professional support to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
What We’re Looking For
- A Legal Assistant with strong litigation experience.
- A mature, dependable professional seeking a long-term role.
- Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and manage multiple files.
- A team player with excellent organizational skills and a friendly, professional demeanor.
- Must work fully in-office (remote work not available).
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary with 3 weeks’ vacation to start, increasing to 4 weeks.
- Office closure for one week at Christmas.
- Benefits after 3 months (can be expedited), including medical/dental coverage and RRSP option.
- Paid parking provided.
- Standard hours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (~37.5 hrs/week) with little to no overtime.
- A welcoming, family-like environment where your work is trusted, valued, and appreciated.
If you’re an experienced Legal Assistant who enjoys working on a variety of files, values stability, and thrives in a supportive team environment, we’d love to hear from you.
