Experience

0 to 10+ years of call — we assess fit in the Network on skill and motivation, not year of call alone

About HCLS

Home Counsel Legal Services Professional Corporation (HCLS) is a digital-first family law firm based in Ottawa. We operate as a curated network of independent lawyers who share a common infrastructure, client pipeline, and practice management platform. Our model is straightforward: we handle the business of law so our Members can focus on the practice of law.

We are growing, and we are looking for lawyers who want to build a meaningful practice on their own terms without starting from scratch.

The Opportunity

HCLS is recruiting an independent contractor lawyer with a focus in family law. Lawyers in other areas — criminal, employment, wills and estates — are also welcome to apply, provided they practice independently and have a demonstrated track record of doing so.

This is not a traditional associate position. You will carry your own files, manage your own client relationships, and run your practice on your schedule. What HCLS provides is the platform, additional clients, and the infrastructure that make that possible from day one.

What You Will Do

Advise and represent clients in family law matters: separation, divorce, parenting, support, property, and child protection

Draft pleadings, motions, agreements, minutes of settlement, and other court and transactional documents
Appear in the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice (Ottawa, Perth, Brockville, Cornwall, and l’Orignal Unified Family Courts)
Negotiate settlements and manage counsel-to-counsel communications
Conduct legal research
Maintain accurate, up-to-date files within the practice management system

What HCLS Provides

The Platform

Full access to Clio for practice management, time tracking, billing, and client communication
Specialized AI legal research and drafting assistants
A curated library of Ontario family law precedents and templates
Secure document automation and client portal

The Office

On-demand access to a first-class office located directly across from the Ottawa Superior Court of Justice
Private meeting rooms, glass-walled offices with courthouse views, quiet rooms, and ergonomic workstations
Ideal for client consultations, case prep, and court days — use it as much or as little as you want

The Community

A network of peer lawyers for strategy, mentorship, and referrals
Bi-weekly in-person meet-ups and virtual sessions
CPD programming and practice development support
Exclusive rates on software and tools to keep your overhead low

Why Lawyers Choose HCLS

Most lawyers who join HCLS are looking for one of two things: autonomy without isolation, or a launchpad for a new practice without the overhead and client development burden of going fully solo. HCLS delivers both.

You are not an employee. You are not a traditional associate. You are an independent practitioner backed by a full operational infrastructure and a firm that has already done the work of building a client base in family law in the National Capital Region. The clients come to you. The admin is handled. The office is there when you need it. The rest is up to you.
