An established Toronto law firm is seeking a highly motivated Commercial Real Estate Associate (3–5 years’ experience) to join its Commercial Real Estate Group
, which handles a broad range of sophisticated real estate and development matters.

The successful candidate will have 3 to 5 years of post-call experience in commercial real estate law, with a focus on the acquisition, disposition, development, and financing of income-producing properties
.

This role offers the opportunity to act for a court officer on a large-scale, complex real estate matter valued at approximately $1 billion
, requiring sound judgment, technical expertise, and the ability to manage high-value transactions with precision and efficiency.

You will work closely with senior counsel on all aspects of the transaction lifecycle — from structuring and due diligence to closing and implementation — while managing discrete work streams independently in a fast-paced and dynamic environment

• Draft, negotiate, and manage agreements for the acquisition, sale, and financing of commercial, industrial, and development properties.
• Conduct and supervise due diligence
  , including title and off-title searches, corporate and zoning reviews, and related transactional analysis.
• Prepare and review closing documentation, statements of adjustments, and conveyancing materials
  .
• Advise court officers and institutional clients on complex real estate, corporate, and regulatory issues.
• Coordinate with opposing counsel, lenders, brokers, and governmental authorities
  .
• Manage multiple active files and ensure deadlines and deliverables are met with accuracy and efficiency.

• LL.B. or J.D., and member in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario
  .
• 3 to 5 years of direct experience in commercial real estate law (not a lending role).
• Proven experience in acquisitions, dispositions, development transactions, and commercial financing
  .
• Strong technical proficiency with title, land registration, and corporate structuring issues.
• Excellent drafting, analytical, and transactional management skills.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively on large, multi-party matters.
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with a practical, client-focused approach.

• Opportunity to work on some of the most complex and high-value real estate matters in the market.
• Collegial and supportive environment with direct access to senior counsel and clients.
• Commitment to professional development, mentorship, and hands-on experience
  .
• Challenging, rewarding work with excellent long-term career prospects.

We work with mid-sized and boutique law and accounting firms and private companies across Canada and the U.S. — the kinds of organizations doing top-tier work without the layers of a massive shop. We take a candidate-first approach
: real conversations, full profiles, and honest advice about what might be a fit.
