Freelance Lawyers

A Collective of Exceptional Lawyers Flexing the Way We Practice Law.

Looking for a new way to practice law? Love the law but hate the hours? Need a flexible work arrangement? Flex Legal is looking to expand our network of freelance lawyers.

What is a freelance lawyer? A freelance lawyer only works for other lawyers or in-house legal departments and does not take on clients directly. Freelancing is ideal for many lawyers, including those seeking to practice part-time, need flexible work hours, or those who are re-entering the practice of law after a leave. Lawyers & firms hire Flex freelance lawyers for projects ranging from court appearances and litigation support to contract drafting and blog post writing – it’s not just document review! While Flex is located in Toronto, our freelance lawyers work virtually and are located across Ontario. For more information on what it means to be a freelance lawyer see the FAQ section on our website.

Interested candidates must have the “Flex Factors”:

• preferably a minimum of 10 years of practice (however, we will consider newer calls with exceptional experience),
• training at a top firm and / or in-house legal department,
• an entrepreneurial spirit,
• a commitment to excellence, and
• an emphasis on quality client service.

If you have the Flex Factors, are eager to become a dedicated freelance lawyer, are in good standing with the LSUC (or other law society in Canada), and are interested in a flex{able} way to practice law, please send your c.v., cover letter, and a writing sample (ex. sample pleading, contract, opinion, blog post or article, etc.) to: info@flexlegalnetwork.com by September 1, 2017.

We are accepting applications from lawyers in all practice areas but have a particular need for lawyers with litigation or real estate experience. While we appreciate all applications, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
