Corporate Commercial Legal Administrative Assistant
We are currently seeking a full-time corporate commercial LAA or Paralegal with a minimum of 5 years of experience to support a busy solicitor’s practice.
If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and enjoy working collaboratively to get deals done, this could be the opportunity for you.
In this role, you’ll assist a corporate-commercial partner and associate with a wide range of business matters and transactions – including M&A, private, and commercial financing (for lenders and borrowers), contract drafting, and more. Some files are routine; others are unique.
You’ll be involved at every stage of a transaction, from the initial client meeting to post-closing wrap-up. This is a hands-on role within a close-knit team that values collaboration, efficiency, and results.
This role is ideal for someone detail-oriented, thrives on variety, and enjoys seeing deals through from start to finish.
About the role:
Duties include
- Preparing legal documents and agreements, including contracts and closing materials
- Assembling commercial lending and financing packages
- Conducting due diligence and corporate searches
- Coordinating funding and handling related accounting matters
- Supporting all aspects of transactions – including the expected, and occasionally the unexpected
About you:
- A Legal Administrative Assistant or Paralegal Certificate from an accredited post-secondary institution
- Minimum of 5 years of working experience as an LAA
- Energized by deal work and able to manage multiple tasks under pressure
- Adaptable and comfortable shifting priorities as transactions evolve
- Collaborative and committed – willing to stay late when needed to help close the deal
- Proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to take ownership and contribute to the team’s success
- Experienced in conveyancing, commercial transactions, and lending (private and commercial) – an asset, but not required
What we offer and why it is great to work on our team:
While we generally work regular business hours, the nature of transactional work means there are times – especially around closings – when flexibility is important. We’re looking for someone willing to put in extra time when needed to support the team and keep deals on track.
We offer a competitive salary ranging from $65,000 to $80,000, based on experience, internal equity, and market considerations. Our team enjoys a comprehensive benefits package, flexible and individualized work arrangements, and eligibility to enroll in our pension plan after two years. We also provide a professional development allowance, generous vacation, paid sick and personal days, and exclusive retail discounts at Central City, conveniently located below our office.
