It was also in my first few months of practice and I had never made a production before and I was the only associate on the case. How should I handle this during my annual review?

Hi Fishes,

How difficult would it be for a well-credentialed US lawyer (approx 7 YOE) to qualify and practice in Toronto? I’m a Canadian (from AB) who went to law school in the US (top 3 school), practiced for 4 years at a strong Wall St firm, and now has been in-house as a corporate generalist for a couple years. I want to move back to Canada permanently, and have just kicked off the NCA process, but will I have any realistic prospects of having a successful legal career, or am I too far along?

Is it a realistic possibility to move from articling at a private firm in Windsor to an associate at Bay Street? I'm currently doing corporate commercial work.

Anyone want to lateral to a U.S. firm? My firm is hiring across all offices and has a bunch of openings in corporate/lit, with a focus on tech. DM me if you're interested.

Any firms hiring commercial lit? Looking to lateral in the new year. 2nd year

I’m a junior litigation lawyer based in Windsor looking to lateral to corporate big law. I have been doing commercial litigation, tax litigation, and tax planning. I’ve done corporate reorganization, corporate structuring, rollovers so corporate would not be completely new to me.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Anyone want to discuss salary? $145k, called to the bar in 2016, target 1800-2000 hours

Quitting my job soon and am thinking about becoming a therapist/counsellor for lawyers and other high stress professions.

Thanks :)
