Vaturi & Cho LLP is a full-service law firm in North York serving clients across the Greater Toronto Area in personal injury, employment, commercial, real estate, criminal and immigration law. Our personal injury practice represents plaintiffs in motor vehicle accident, slip and fall, and long-term disability matters, including accident benefits claims before the Licence Appeal Tribunal and tort actions in the Superior Court of Justice.

We are a close‑knit team where assistants work directly with the lawyers on their files and see matters through from intake to resolution.

We are hiring a Legal Administrative Assistant to support our personal injury lawyers and law clerks. You will start on correspondence: drafting payment letters and request letters, writing to clients to confirm and advise them of their medical assessments, and following up with clinics and pharmacies until the records we have asked for actually arrive.

Two things matter most here. First, your English is strong, written and spoken. This job is letters and phone calls: the letters go out over the firm's name, and the calls are with clients, clinics, insurers and opposing counsel. Second, you have a year of office experience behind you. You do not need to have worked in a law firm. We will teach you the accident benefits process, the OCF forms and the LAT timelines.

What we cannot teach is follow-through, attention to detail, and the discipline to keep a long list of files on schedule, so that is what we are hiring for.

Pay is set within the posted range by experience.

• Health Spending benefits after the probationary period
• Two weeks of paid vacation to start
• Paid Law Society and association fees where applicable, and support for continuing education
• Hands‑on training on accident benefits and tort file management from the lawyers and clerks you work with
• Direct mentorship from the lawyers on your files and a clear path to a law clerk or senior file‑management role
• Free parking on site and easy access by TTC (Finch West station)

• Draft routine correspondence for lawyer…
