law clerk Toronto
Job description
Guardian Legal Consultants LLP is a boutique corporate and litigation law firm seeking a qualified and motivated corporate law clerk to join its growing team.
Candidates may be expected to file electronic and physical documents, open and close files, prepare and file corporate records, assist with incorporations and reorganizations, compile and manage corporate minute book records and related databases, assist with due diligence, manage calendars and schedule calls, perform reception duties as required, prepare and mail letters and legal forms, and other duties as assigned by the partners. There may also be some responsibilities for office supply management.
The successful candidate will be a self-starter with attention to detail and an enthusiasm for contributing to the firm’s growth. There will be significant opportunities for advancement into a managerial or team-lead position. As such, the ideal candidate will demonstrate expertise, judgment and independence to become an integrated member of the team of this growing and dynamic law firm. We want the ideal candidate to lean into the role and take initiative.
Candidates can expect a high pressure and busy environment given the nature of the work and number of files. Thus, the expectation of the candidate is to consistently deliver high-quality work-product and be accountable to the team. The firm encourages a solutions-focused (not problem-driven) approach to dealing with complications or issues that may arise on files. It is important for the candidate to be dependable and willing to take instructions. Working well with others is a must since many of the firm’s files require a team approach. Further, the firm is keen on its members learning and developing professionally, and so there are opportunities that may become available depending on the aptitude of the candidate and their willingness to take constructive feedback. Guardian also values the importance of mentorship and self-growth in the workplace. Candidates can expect a positive, forward-thinking environment that fosters their professional development.
Candidates are advised that this position is in-person and not remote or hybrid.
