Litigation Law Clerk

Senior Civil / Commercial Litigation Law Clerk - In Person RoleLocation: Vaughan, OntarioAward-Winning Law Firm | Full-Time Contract (Path to Permanency)Pay: Commensurate with Experience - We Reward Excellence, Not Just Tenure

“Some roles keep the lights on. Others keep the engine running.”At Bianchi Presta LLP, were looking for someone to fuel the engine — and floor it.

Were a 32-year-old, award-winning law firm based in the heart of Vaughan. Built on grit, precision and client-first excellence, were looking to welcome a Senior Law Clerk to support the Chair of our Litigation Practice Group, whose practice focuses on construction lien litigation and a full spectrum of civil and commercial litigation matters.

This is an in-person position. We are not looking for remote support. Trust, coordination, and execution happen best when were working side-by-side.

If you have 7+ years of real litigation experience — not personal injury, not family law, but serious, procedural, file-driving litigation — this role is built for you. Its designed to convert to a permanent opportunity for the right candidate. But if youre looking for a 9-to-5 “thats not my job” kind of role, this isnt it.
