This remains an active confidential search at partner level. The brief is revisited each cycle with the client, and what follows is the current brief.

A highly regarded full-service law firm is seeking a lateral partner to join its Real Estate group in Toronto, with a focus on commercial leasing. The platform also presents complementary opportunities for partners with portable practices in capital markets, private equity (SME-focused transactions), and broader business law.

The firm is particularly interested in established practitioners with a strong, portable book of business who are considering a final lateral move, and it welcomes team moves over individual hires. Incoming partners enter as non-capital partners with a defined path to capital partnership after the first year.

This is an opportunity to bring an existing client base onto a well-established, multidisciplinary platform with substantial cross-referral potential across real estate, capital markets, and private equity.

Partner-level practitioner with a strong, portable book of business
Portable book of business of CAD 2M+ (CAD 3–4M sweet spot)
Background in real estate and commercial leasing, capital markets, private equity, or general business law
Team moves and senior partners making a final move are encouraged
Promising juniors slightly below the minimum threshold may be considered

Everything is held in confidence and nothing is shared with the firm without your explicit approval.
