Because litigation is all we do, our clients benefit from focused expertise
and trial-ready thinking.
For more than three decades, we have built a premier construction and
infrastructure litigation practice. We act for owners, developers,
contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, lenders, and
underwriters in high-stakes disputes arising from projects that shape
skylines and infrastructure across Canada and internationally – from
complex residential developments to multi-billion-dollar transit, energy,
and public works projects.
If you want to litigate the cases that define the industry – this is where you
do it.
the opportunity:
We are seeking a litigator qualified to practice in Ontario with 2-5 years of
experience in construction and infrastructure disputes.

are advocates. You will:
Take ownership of meaningful components of complex files
Appear in court and arbitration proceedings
Conduct examinations and argue motions
Work directly with sophisticated clients and leading experts
Develop strategy alongside some of Canada’s most respected trial
lawyers
Our construction litigators are regularly involved in high-value arbitrations
and complex litigation that set precedents and shape risk allocation in the
industry. You will not wait years for real advocacy experience – you will
build it here.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
You are ambitious, intellectually rigorous, and motivated by high-
performance environments. You thrive on responsibility and take pride in
precision.
We are seeking candidates with:
Demonstrated experience in construction and infrastructure litigation
Strong understanding of construction industry practices
Familiarity with lien claims and procedures
The ability to manage complex, document-intensive files
Excellent judgment, organization, and attention to detail
A client-first mindset and commitment to exceptional service
The ability to work independently while contributing meaningfully to a
collaborative team
Real estate litigation experience is an asset but not required.
why lenczner slaght:
At Lenczner Slaght, associates develop faster because they do more. We
believe advocacy skills are built in hearings, not in theory.
Our partners are consistently ranked among the top litigators in Canada
and are deeply invested in mentorship. We combine ***** advocacy with
structured development, real responsibility, and a culture that expects
excellence – and supports you in achieving it.
