Law Clerk Jobs in Toronto – Ontario – Canada at Hansra Law

If you are looking for a

fast-paced

, positive

team environment

with

professional growth

potential, then look no further. Our Business Law firm has an immediate full-time opportunity for a positive, high-energy Corporate Law Clerk… a team player who has excellent administrative and

communication skills

that wants to support our legal team with helping our

entrepreneurial

clients. This is a fabulous opportunity for someone who wants to be part of an All-Star team.

Our Founding and Managing Lawyer is an entrepreneur himself who is passionate about taking a “Business First, Legal Second” approach to business law services. Our clients care about business results – making money, saving time and protecting their reputation. This means our job is to deliver more than just a fancy piece of paper filled with legal ‘mumbo jumbo’.

So, if you think your job is to help deliver a piece of paper to a client without spelling mistakes, then this is not the right place for you. Likewise, if you don’t like crunching numbers, doing simple math and working with Excel files, then please don’t apply – as you’ll be expected to know why our work matters to our clients down to the numbers.

We currently need a Corporate Law Clerk who wants to help people solve complex business problems and can approach conversations with maturity and sensitivity to ensure the client experience with our firm is second to none. We need someone who can help us take control of the legal department by acting as the first point of contact for all of our

entrepreneurial

clients, providing drafting support to our legal team and helping us communicate effectively with our clients while we work through their cases.

The most important quality you can possess is a great attitude and willingness to roll up your sleeves and help wherever it’s needed.  While we strongly support personal and professional development, we do not have the time to teach you how to complete a PPSA registration or Rollover Transaction, use online filing systems, or overcome your fears of talking to opposing counsel with limited instruction.

However, we will provide you with all the training you need to know how to best help our clients.  If the following describes you, then YOU may be the Law Clerk we are looking for:

You are

a relationship-builder who is comfortable interacting with different types of personalities (easygoing, difficult, wordy, technical, stressed out, etc.) and all levels of authority with tact.

You show

empathy

to clients and put them at ease during stressful times. You can handle high-stress transactions with tight deadlines and quick turnaround times… even if it’s on short notice.  You know how to complete complex M&A transactions from start to finish, from due diligence to closing, to drafting all closing documents and post-closing obligations.

You are

skilled at communicating with people on the phone, in person and by email. You think on your toes and not be discouraged when things don’t go as planned.  You treat all deadlines and tasks with the same level of urgency as you would if the client were your family member. You’re a team player that consistently acts with

respect

and integrity.

You genuinely care about clients and want to deliver an experience that turns them into raving fans.
