Full job description

Overview:

At KPMG in Canada, our people bring their unique perspectives to Canada's most important challenges. Here, you can build momentum that reaches beyond our business, develop skills for the future, and take ownership of your career with support at every stage. Join a firm where your career can make a difference.

KPMG Law LLP is a national law firm affiliated with KPMG LLP, with offices across Canada. As an integrated, multidisciplinary firm, our lawyers work closely with tax, accounting, and advisory professionals to help clients navigate complex legal and business matters.

We are seeking an Associate, Estate & Commercial Litigation to join our growing litigation practice. This role focuses on representing clients in estate, fiduciary, shareholder, contractual, and commercial disputes. It is a litigation-focused opportunity for a lawyer who is passionate about advocacy and dispute resolution, rather than estate planning, wills drafting, or estate administration.

Working closely with experienced litigators, as well as KPMG's Private Enterprise and Family Office teams, you will gain exposure to sophisticated and challenging matters involving individuals, families, business owners, trustees, executors, beneficiaries, and corporations. You will progressively assume responsibility for your own files, build client relationships, and develop your advocacy skills in a collaborative and supportive environment.

At KPMG Law, you will work alongside respected practitioners, access the resources and expertise of a global professional services network, and benefit from ongoing professional development while helping clients resolve complex legal disputes.

What you will do:
  • Advise and represent clients in estate, trust, fiduciary, shareholder, corporate, contractual, and commercial litigation matters
  • Manage files through all stages of the litigation process while progressively assuming carriage of your own matters
  • Draft pleadings, motion materials, affidavits, facta, mediation briefs, and other advocacy materials
  • Conduct legal research and prepare written and oral submissions
  • Appear before courts, mediators, arbitrators, and other dispute resolution forums
  • Conduct examinations for discovery, attend mediations, participate in hearings, and support trial preparation
  • Resolve disputes involving trustees, executors, beneficiaries, fiduciaries, shareholders, business owners, and other stakeholders
  • Advise clients on a broad range of commercial disputes, including contract, shareholder, partnership, and business-related matters
  • Develop and maintain strong client relationships while delivering practical, strategic legal advice
  • Stay current on developments in litigation, dispute resolution, and relevant areas of law
What you bring to this role:
  • 2-4 years of post-call litigation experience
  • Experience in estate litigation, commercial litigation, civil litigation, or a related litigation practice area
  • Membership in good standing with the LSO
  • Strong written and oral advocacy skills
  • Experience drafting pleadings, affidavits, motions, facta, and other litigation materials
  • Experience participating in discoveries, mediations, hearings, arbitrations, motions, or trials
  • Excellent legal research, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple active litigation files
  • Sound professional judgment, commercial awareness, and a client-focused approach
  • A collaborative mindset and a genuine interest in building a long-term career in litigation

AI Usage

We embrace the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the candidate experience and streamline our recruitment processes. AI tools may help with organizing applications or surfacing relevant qualifications. However, no hiring decisions are made using AI. Every hiring decision is made by our hiring managers and recruitment professionals, who are equipped with training that empowers them to use these tools responsibly. AI technologies used in our recruitment process undergo detailed risk assessments, including security and privacy requirements, that align with KPMG’s Trusted AI framework.

We believe technology should empower human judgment, not replace it. It’s one of the many ways we’re delivering on our vision of being a technology-first, people-driven firm.
