About UsWe’re a boutique law firm in downtown Toronto focused exclusively on commercial and estate litigation. We handle a wide range of disputes - from complex commercial matters to sensitive estate issues. Our practice is built on practical and effective advocacy and teamwork. We get results by tenaciously and assertively advocating for our clients.
At our firm, you’ll be an active part of our team, working closely with lawyers who are proficient at what they do and who are committed to helping you develop your skills as a future litigator.
About the RoleWe’re looking for a Summer Law Student to join us for the 2027 term. This is an opportunity to gain real, hands-on experience in litigation - the kind of experience that helps you see how the theory you learn in class comes to life in practice.
You’ll assist with ongoing files, dig into legal and factual research, help draft court documents, and sit in on client meetings, mediations, and court appearances. You’ll be involved in meaningful work that contributes directly to our cases.
What We’re Looking For- A 2nd year law student currently enrolled in an Ontario law school
- Someone with a genuine interest in litigation and problem-solving, with preference to those who demonstrate an interest in estate litigation and/or commercial litigation
- Strong writing, research, and communication skills
- An eye for detail and the ability to juggle multiple projects
- A team player who’s curious, proactive, and eager to learn
What You’ll Get- Direct mentorship from experienced litigators
- A chance to take on real, substantive work
- Exposure to both commercial and estate disputes
- A supportive, collegial environment where your contributions matter and where a good sense of humour is welcomed
Interested candidates should send their applications and school transcripts to wsllp@wagnersidlofsky.com, attention Brad Phillips
