Junior Legal Research and Strategy Associate

Ready to join a proactive and modern firm that provides an exceptional career experience in an inclusive and collaborative environment? Come join us!

As part of a global legal practice, Norton Rose Fulbright Canada embraces a culture of excellence and client service, but always with a focus on flexibility, respect, diversity and openness. We strive to create an equitable, inclusive environment where everyone can bring their whole self to work and realize their career potential.

We are currently looking to grow our highly respected Legal Research Group in Toronto by adding a junior member to learn and grow with the team. Our Legal Research Group provides bespoke solutions to complex issues on a variety of files, including "bet the farm" litigation matters and novel transactions. Our lawyers work as a team with a focus on highly sophisticated legal analysis and strategy and act as trusted advisors to clients and other lawyers at the firm across a broad range of practice areas and industries. This is a dynamic and fast-paced practice with exposure to some of the most interesting and complex files and transactions across the country. We are currently seeking to add to the existing strength of our team by bringing in a junior-level associate (1 to 3 years) with an interest in strategic legal research.

This presents an incredible opportunity to join a world-class group of professionals at an established Canadian law firm with a significant international legal practice. It is also an opportunity to be part of a close, collaborative and collegial team, which has a significant focus on training, mentorship and development.

The ideal candidates will possess an LLB or JD degree and will also have:

• the requisite number of post-call years of experience (as outlined above);
• private practice experience with exposure to corporate/commercial law (or equivalent in-house or regulatory body experience);
• excellent research, writing, and analytical skills, and a passion for challenging legal matters;
• a demonstrated ability to be a strategic and creative thinker; and
• exceptional client service, teamwork, and interpersonal and communication skills.
