Associate Lawyer

Chapman Steffler LLP is a boutique firm specializing in Family Law, Wills and Estates and Real Estate. Our firm is passionate about delivering high quality service to our clients while maintaining a healthy work/life balance. Our firm offers competitive remuneration with no limits on your earning capacity. We are a close-knit group and seek an associate lawyer with a good sense of humour and a hands‑on approach to problem solving. We offer excellent work/life balance, office hours of 9:00am to 4:00pm, and office dogs, Luna and Millie, who are happy to let anyone rub their bellies. We do not take ourselves too seriously, but we pride ourselves on offering our clients excellent service. Our ideal candidate is dedicated to growing and honing their skills as a family lawyer. While the position is open to lawyers with at least one year of practice experience, preference will be given to those candidates with at least three years of experience under their belt. A demonstrated willingness to learn is a significant asset and mentoring will be provided. Key Considerations

A demonstrated ability to handle competing priorities and to adapt quickly when urgent issues arise. An ability to effectively work independently with little supervision. An ability to work as part of a team and to get along with coworkers and staff. A willingness and ability to provide representation to clients at courthouses throughout Simcoe County. The ideal candidate will have existing clients and will have a willingness to build their own case load (our firm will provide consultations, however, the desire to be proactive in this regard is an asset). A demonstrated connection to Barrie and/or Simcoe County is an asset. Requirements

At least one year of post‑call experience, preferably in Family Law but this is not mandatory. In good standing with the Law Society of Ontario with no open disciplinary investigations. Your LawPRO insurance is in good standing. This is an in‑office position but there is an ability to move to a hybrid model upon proven success. References will be checked. If you meet the requirements, please apply in confidence to matt@chapmansteffler.com. Please submit a resume, cover letter, and at least one relevant reference for us to contact. While we appreciate all applications, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
