Lateral Partner, Technology & Life Sciences (Montreal or Toronto)

A highly regarded law firm

Apply in confidence →

Leading Canadian firm is actively expanding a Technology & Life Sciences corporate practice and seeks a lateral partner to help build cross-border transactional capabilities. The role focuses on US-facing tech and life sciences matters, advising growth companies and investors on complex corporate and commercial work.

The firm values candidates with a high-quality, portable practice and strong strategic fit over raw book size. This is a growth hire: the team is being actively developed and the successful candidate will play a visible role in shaping the group.

There is also selective appetite for prominent securities/capital markets partners and a separate hiring need at the associate level in class action litigation; those are considered opportunistic or distinct searches.

  • Proven partner-level track record with a portable, high-quality practice (book of business expected to be real and transferable)
  • Significant experience in technology and/or life sciences transactions, ideally with US-facing, cross-border deals
  • Established relationships with growth-stage companies or investors (VC relationships an asset)
  • Strong market profile, commercial judgment, and ability to help build a practice group
  • Adept at managing conflicts and confidential client screening processes
