What you’ll do

Build and lead a self-sustaining estate‑litigation practice with strong support.

Work independently and collaboratively to manage existing and new client matters: complex estates, wills variation disputes, undue influence claims, and more.

Mentor and collaborate, guiding staff and junior lawyers, shaping strategy, and contributing to the firm’s ethos of "human first, lawyer second."

Combine business development, client support, and high‑calibre litigation work in a flexible, forward‑looking environment.

You bring

6+ years (the more the better) of estate litigation experience. Commercial litigation experience is an asset.

Demonstrated capability to develop and sustain a book of business.

Subject‑matter expertise in estate litigation, complex and contentious estate matters, etc.

Strong leadership, mentorship skills, and a collaborative mindset.

A desire to work in a modern, flexible, tech‑enabled environment with a growing national presence.

What makes Hammerco different

Remote and in‑office flexibility, with a robust tech stack that keeps everything accessible.

A diverse, inclusive team. We champion women in leadership and believe in succession planning done right.

Real support: business‑development resources, junior‑team backing, administrative infrastructure, and a firm‑wide commitment to collaboration and professional growth.

A national‑scale vision with a people‑first culture.

Bonus: a dog‑friendly office + social activities!

The salary range for this position is $130,000–$160,000. Actual compensation will depend on the candidate’s experience, competencies, and year of call. We may consider a higher salary for candidates whose experience or year of call warrants placement above the listed range.
