About Nazarian Law
Nazarian Law is a Toronto-based family law firm committed to delivering exceptional legal representation to clients navigating some of the most significant challenges of their lives. With over 400 five-star Google reviews, our reputation has been built through consistent advocacy, genuine client care, and the operational discipline to deliver both, reliably.
We are a growing firm with clear ambitions. Our team operates within a structured, mentorship-driven environment where junior lawyers receive meaningful support, carry real responsibility from day one, and are developed with intention. We invest in advanced legal technology and practice management systems that allow our lawyers to focus their time where it matters most: on their clients and their files.
The Opportunity
Nazarian Law is seeking a motivated Junior Family Lawyer to join our expanding team. This is a substantive role suited to a lawyer with a minimum of one year of family law experience, including articling.

The successful candidate will carry their own client portfolio from the outset, supported by a designated senior mentor and a collaborative team culture that holds high standards without sacrificing collegiality. This is an opportunity to develop as a family law advocate within a firm that takes the quality of that development seriously.

- Develop and execute case strategies aligned with client objectives and realistic outcomes
- Independently manage and advance a personal client portfolio
- Conduct legal research and maintain current knowledge of Ontario family law developments
- Contribute positively to a team culture grounded in professionalism, collaboration, and client service

- Licensed to practice law in Ontario and in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario
- Minimum of one year of family law experience, with articling experience considered for exceptional candidates
- Strong written and oral advocacy skills with a high degree of attention to detail

- Alignment with the firm’s core values: Humble and hungry, Transparent and accountable, Team over ego, Client first always, and Growth mindset
Mentorship and Professional Development
Every lawyer at Nazarian Law is assigned a designated senior mentor upon joining the firm. Your mentor will be one of our two senior team leads, each with substantial experience in Ontario family law and a genuine commitment to the development of junior counsel.
Mentorship at Nazarian Law is a structured, ongoing commitment. Junior lawyers have a direct point of contact for substantive and procedural guidance at every stage of a file, and the firm’s open-door policy ensures that support is never limited to a single source. We believe that the quality of a lawyer’s early development determines the quality of the advocate they become, and we invest accordingly.

- Base salary of $70,000 to $80,000 CAD per year, commensurate with experience
- Health benefits after a qualifying period
- Designated senior mentor assigned from day one
