Litigation Lawyer (5+ years)

Description

Marshall Law Group | South Western Ontario (serving all of Ontario & select out-of-province clients) | Flexible / Hybrid Most litigation roles ask you to trade autonomy for a salary, or income for independence. We don't think you should have to choose. Marshall Law Group is a growing South Western Ontario litigation firm looking for an experienced litigator who wants the upside of running their own book — uncapped, commission-based income and the option to practise through their own professional corporation — with the support, infrastructure, and collegiality of an established team. You bring the advocacy; we bring the platform.

Why this role is different

• You eat what you grow. Compensation is commission-based, not capped by a fixed salary. The harder and smarter you work your files, the more you earn — with full transparency on how it's calculated.
• Practise through your own PC. Operate under your own professional corporation if you choose, and keep the tax efficiency that comes with it. Your practice, structured your way.
• Real autonomy. Take genuine carriage of your files, set your own strategy, and own your client relationships. We trust experienced lawyers to be lawyers.
• Flexible hours. Build your schedule around your life and your files, not around a clock.
• A collaborative team, not a silo. Bounce strategy off colleagues, share precedents, and lean on each other for coverage. Independence without isolation.
• Buy-in health benefits. Option to join the firm's group health benefits plan.
• A firm on the way up. We're growing across Ontario and beyond, and you'll have room to grow with us — and to shape what comes next.

What you'll do

• Manage litigation files end-to-end: strategy, pleadings, motions, discoveries, mediations, and hearings or trials.
• Take direct carriage of client relationships and advise clients on strategy, risk, and resolution.
• Draft strong pleadings, motion materials, correspondence, and written argument.
• Appear before courts and tribunals across Ontario.
• Collaborate with colleagues on complex matters and contribute to the firm's continued growth.

Who you are

• Member in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario.
• 5+ years of litigation experience, with the proven ability to run files independently as lead counsel.
• Comfortable in court, with strong drafting, advocacy, and client-management skills.
• Entrepreneurial and self-motivated — you want to build something, not just bill hours.
• Sound judgment, professionalism, and a practical, client-focused mindset.
• Experience in general civil / commercial / employment / municipal / tribunal / criminal litigation is an asset.
