great legal work begins with great people.
Since first opening our doors in 1929, we’ve built a reputation for professional excellence and a deep commitment to our clients across Ontario. We are proud to be a firm where talented individuals thrive, innovate, and shape the future of law.
Here, integrity and commitment aren’t just abstract concepts. They are reflected in how we work every day. At Lerners, we seek out people who breathe life into our culture and values. The passion and dedication of our people define our firm in the eyes of the clients we serve.
Valued from Day One
At Lerners, associates are trusted with meaningful responsibility from the start. You’ll work alongside experienced counsel on sophisticated, high-calibre files and have the opportunity to make real contributions to client matters early in your career. Our supportive and hands-on mentoring ensures that you’re not just observing — you’re learning, growing, and building the confidence to run files independently when you're ready. We invest in your development because we believe the best way to grow great lawyers is to give them the tools, trust, and guidance they need to thrive.
Join a firm where you’ll do meaningful work, shoulder real responsibility, and be supported every step of the way. You won’t just build a resume — you’ll build a career.
