Full job description

About Us

At 10(B) Criminal Law Center, we are relentless in court and unshakable in defence. Founded on Transparency, Compassion, Respect, and Integrity, we are deeply rooted in our communities and committed to protecting our clients’ rights — especially when it matters most. Our practice focuses on bail advocacy, early resolution strategies, and strong trial defence. With our rapid growth, we are seeking two Associate Lawyers — one based in Hamilton and one in Niagara — with the flexibility to move between jurisdictions as needed.

The Role

As an Associate Lawyer, you will:

Represent clients in bail hearings, Crown Pre-Trials (CPTs), Judicial Pre-Trials (JPTs), and trials.
Conduct trials and contested hearings before the Ontario Court of Justice (OCJ) and the Superior Court of Justice (SCJ).
Conduct legal research, draft motions, facta, and prepare court materials.
Manage files with professionalism and empathy, working with minimal supervision and independence.
Build strong, ongoing client relationships, ensuring they feel supported and advocated for throughout the process.
Collaborate with staff, community organizations, and treatment providers to achieve the best outcomes.
Cover both Hamilton and Niagara jurisdictions interchangeably as required.

Qualifications

1–3 years of post-call experience (criminal law experience preferred; motivated new calls considered).
Must be a Legal Aid Roster Member.
Strong oral and written advocacy skills.
Ability to conduct CPTs independently is required.
Familiarity with Legal Aid Ontario processes is required.
Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Excellent client-handling skills with the ability to build trust and advocate effectively.
Flexibility to appear in both Hamilton and Niagara courts.
Ability to speak a second language (Spanish and/or French) is a strong asset, given our diverse client base.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive compensation structure consisting of a base salary of $80,000, plus performance-based compensation tied directly to billable work. Employees earn an additional $30,000 for each $100,000 in billable revenue generated. The target annual billable expectation for this position is $300,000. Salary is negotiable and will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, and demonstrated ability.
Early and significant courtroom exposure.
Mentorship in trial advocacy, Charter litigation, and strategic defence work.
A supportive, values-driven team environment.
The opportunity to represent a diverse community and make a real impact.

How to Apply

Please email your resume and a brief cover letter to [email protected] with subject line: Associate Lawyer – Region – [Your Name]

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Only candidates selected for interviews will be contacted.
