About the Opportunity
We're working with a mid-sized, full-service Toronto law firm that's looking to add a Wills & Estates Associate to their team. This role is focused entirely on solicitor-side estate work (no litigation) - ideal for someone who enjoys client interaction, thoughtful planning, and complex structuring.

- Drafting wills and powers of attorney
- Estate and incapacity planning for individuals and families
- Trust structuring (testamentary and inter vivos)
- Tax-efficient planning for business owners and professionals
- Succession planning for privately held corporations and family enterprises
- Advising executors and trustees on estate and trust administration
- Probate and certificate of appointment applications
- Cross-border and multi-jurisdictional planning (if experienced)
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in wills & estates law (solicitor side)
- Comfortable managing files and advising clients directly
- Experience with HNW planning is an asset, but not required
- Strong drafting, communication, and client service skills
- Ontario Bar, in good standing
