Forget everything you hate about private practice.

At Resolute, we have removed the things that burn lawyers out:

  • No Billable Hours: We don't sell time. We sell solutions. You will never have to track a 0.1 again.
  • Performance-Based Pay: You earn a base salary plus a significant bonus based directly on the revenue you generate.
  • No Commute: We are a 100% remote firm. As long as you are in Ontario or Atlantic Canada, your office is wherever you say it is.

The Role: We Hire for Attitude and Train for Skill

We are seeking a Lawyer to join our litigation team. This is a 100% Plaintiff-side role. We never represent employers. Your focus will be exclusively on Employment Law (Wrongful Dismissal, Constructive Dismissal, and Human Rights).

Walk into a Full Practice (No "Rainmaking" Required) You do not need to bring a book of business. You will assume a full, active caseload on Day 1. Our firm has a robust marketing engine that generates a steady stream of new clients every week. Your job is to advocate for these clients and move their files to resolution-not to chase down new business.

Don't have employment law experience? That's okay. We can teach you the law. What we can't teach is the fire in your belly to fight for the underdog. If you are a litigator (or an aspiring one) who wants to help real people rebuild their lives after a job loss, we will provide the mentorship and systems you need to become an expert in this field.

Compensation: Stability + Unlimited Upside

We list a Total Compensation range of $100,000 - $140,000+ because our model is designed for high performers to significantly out-earn their base salary.

  • The Base ($65,000 - $85,000): We provide a competitive base salary range commensurate with your experience to ensure financial security.
  • The Bonus (Profit Share): Unlike discretionary bonuses, our system is transparent. You earn a significant share of the revenue you generate above your annual target.
  • The Logic: We cover all marketing, intake, and overhead costs. Your bonus is pure income.
  • Realistic Earnings: A lawyer running a full caseload efficiently should expect their total annual compensation (Base + Bonus) to fall between $100,000 and $140,000. There is no cap on your earning potential-high performers can double their base salary.

Who We Are Looking For

  • Values First: You must be passionate about plaintiff-side representation. We want someone who gets satisfaction from standing up to large corporations and institutions on behalf of regular workers.
  • Bar Admission: You must be a member in good standing (or eligible for immediate call) of the Law Society of Ontario, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick.
  • Litigation Interest: You don't need to be a seasoned trial lawyer, but you must have a genuine interest in litigation, negotiation, and advocacy.
  • The "Closer" Mindset: Since we do not bill by the hour, we need lawyers who are driven to move existing files forward and reach resolutions efficiently.

Ideally, you are: A lawyer who feels out of place in a traditional firm. Maybe you are tired of the Bay Street grind, insurance defense, or management-side politics. If you have the drive to fight for the "little guy," we have the platform for you to succeed.

To Apply: Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why you want to represent plaintiffs.
