Full job description

Company: Knight’s Law Professional Corporation
Location: Ontario (Remote–In-Person Hybrid Preferred)
Job Type: Full-Time
Compensation: Competitive salary, based on experience

About the Role

Knights Law is a growing family law firm built on structured systems, clear file workflows, standardized deadline protocols, and a practice management setup that lets lawyers focus on legal work instead of reinventing process. We're a collaborative-first practice: our approach prioritizes resolving matters out of court wherever possible, and we support lawyers pursuing Collaborative Law training (Levels 1 and 2).

We're looking for an experienced Associate Family Lawyer ready to independently manage a caseload from client intake through resolution or trial with genuine autonomy and the operational backing to do it well.

Responsibilities

Represent clients across the full range of family law matters: divorce, child custody, parenting arrangements, adoption, and related proceedings
Independently manage a caseload from intake through resolution
Draft pleadings, motions, settlement agreements, and correspondence
Negotiate settlements and agreements in clients' best interests
Advise clients clearly on rights, obligations, and likely outcomes
Prepare and advocate at court appearances
Conduct legal research (LexisNexis) to support case strategy
Maintain current knowledge of family law statutes, regulations, and case law
Where appropriate, pursue collaborative and out-of-court resolution as a first approach

Mentorship & Support

You won't be building or running a caseload alone. Every associate is supported by a team of knowledgeable colleagues who assist with day-to-day matter management, research, and file work alongside direct mentorship focused on your growth as a lawyer. This structure is led by our Chief Lawyer and our Director of Operations who maintain the firm's systems and workflows so your time goes toward client work and casework.

Qualifications

Licensed to practice law in Ontario, in good standing
Minimum 3 years of family law experience
Strong advocacy, negotiation, and client-management skills
Working knowledge of Clio and DivorceMate; comfort with LexisNexis
Organized and self-directed, with a caseload managed under structured senior review and mentorship
Willingness to pursue Collaborative Law training (Levels 1 and 2), supported by the firm
Comfortable in a hybrid environment, with in-person attendance for client meetings, staff meetings, and court

Compensation

Base salary tiered by experience/percentage of billings collected

3–7 years' call: $80,000–$150.000 base
Option to generate 20-50% of collected billings

Why Knights Law

Established Clio workflows and deadline systems already in place
Collaborative-first culture with firm-supported training
Hybrid flexibility with in-person time focused on what actually needs it
Room to build a caseload and grow with the firm

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $80,000.00-$150,000.00 per year

Experience:

Ontario Family law: 3 years (required)

Work Location: Hybrid remote in St. Catharines, ON L2R 7E8
