WHO WE ARE  

  

For over 20 years, Caravel Law has pioneered a different kind of law firm in Canada.  

Our lawyers combine Big Law training with in-house experience, and embed directly with clients to deliver sophisticated, business-minded counsel without the overhead, hierarchy, or billable hours targets of traditional firms.  

We work alongside General Counsel, the C-suite, and founders to build scalable legal capacity where and when it is needed. We don’t measure success in hours billed. We measure it in deals closed, risks avoided and businesses built. At Caravel, you can design your work around your life, while laying the foundation for a meaningful, rewarding career.  

  

WHY CARAVEL  
 

  • Control over your practice. Full-time or reduced schedule, your call. No billable hour targets, no lockstep, no partnership tournament, and compensation that reflects the work you do.  

  • Work at your level. Senior mandates and direct client contact, without the internal machinery that dilutes both.  

  • Focus on the work. Business development, marketing, conflicts, engagement management, and billing are handled. You practise; we run the firm.  

  • A strong community. Work with peers who bring some of the strongest in-house and law firm experience in the country, and a supportive team dedicated to the success, connection, and well-being of every lawyer at the firm.  

  • A firm built to innovate. We offer a dedicated legal innovation function and AI-enabled delivery, because our clients expect us to be ahead of them.  

  • Strong trajectory. Two decades in, Caravel is growing faster than at any point in its history, with a national bench and sophisticated client engagements that keep expanding. 

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM  

Experience  

  • A law degree.  

  • Membership in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario. 

  • A minimum of five (5) years experience advising entrepreneurs and startups, preferably from private practice at a major Canadian law firm 

  • The ability to give a clear, business-driven answer under time pressure and stand behind it.  

  • Comfort operating with autonomy. Our lawyers are independent by design and run their own mandates. 

Specialized Expertise   

  • Assist a variety of growth companies with corporate legal services including company formation, shareholders’ agreements, private placements, corporate transactions, stock option plans, license agreements, terms and conditions of use and employment matters. 

  • Comfortable representing Caravel at various startup related conferences, networking events and organizations. 


Location  

  • Toronto, Ontario. Remote elsewhere in Canada is also acceptable.  


If you feel that your background and experience would be a good fit for this role, we would love to hear from you. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only candidates under consideration will be contacted.
