About the Opportunity
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 workstreams independently in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
Key Responsibilities
- 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.
Qualifications
- 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.
What’s Offered
- 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.
