We're hiring: Corporate Commercial Lawyer (3+ Years)
Digby Leigh & Co. (DL&Co.) is a North Shore based law firm that’s rethinking what it means to be a lawyer. We believe in running a modern law business—not a traditional “law practice” that equates your value solely to the hours you bill. We’re looking for an experienced corporate commercial lawyer (min. 3+ years) to join our team.
About the Opportunity:
We’re not your typical law firm. At DL&Co., we offer clients our Frank Fee pricing model—no hourly billing, no surprises, just upfront cost certainty. We believe in pricing based on value delivered, not just time spent on a file, and that means our lawyers are aligned with our clients right from the start.
We’re committed to transforming the way law is practiced:
Efficiency First: We leverage technology, AI, and smart systems to streamline both our operations and our practice. We continually seek to optimize our workflows to maximize our efficiencies, so you can focus on what matters—delivering quality legal solutions.
Non-Hierarchical & Collaborative: At DL&Co., great work goes to the best person for the job. We’re collaborative, and our team supports one another to provide the best possible outcome for our clients.
High-Quality Work: We’re not downtown, but our book of business is just as exceptional as any top-tier mid-size firm—without the grind and bureaucracy of a downtown office. We offer a high volume of quality work that’s diverse, challenging, and rewarding.
We’re looking for someone who:
Thinks Differently: You’re tired of the billable hour. You know there’s a better way, and you’re ready to be part of the change.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: You’re not just looking for a job—you’re looking for a platform to shape, an opportunity to innovate, and a firm where you can truly grow. You’re motivated to bring in business and build relationships that last.
Team-Driven: You want to work in alignment with your clients and your colleagues. You see the value in collaboration, and you’re excited to work within a team that’s breaking down traditional hierarchies.
Growth, Leadership & Partnership Opportunities: You’ll have opportunities for career advancement, skill development, and the chance to become a partner. We value leadership and we’re excited to support you in shaping the firm’s future and mentoring junior colleagues.
Motivated by Meaningful & Aligned Work: You want to work in an environment where you’re aligned with clients, providing value, and feeling like you’re making a difference—not just billing hours.
Why join us?
Competitive Compensation & Benefits: We offer a competitive salary, along with comprehensive benefits including extended health care, dental, and more.
Frank Fee Pricing Model: Be valued for more than the number of hours you can record in a day, instead focus on what really matters—your clients and your craft.
Flexibility & Work-Life Harmony: You’re looking for a career that lets you thrive professionally while also making time for your personal priorities. We offer flexibility because we believe that balance is key to long-term success.
Community Connection: Enjoy the convenience of working in the community you live in, skipping the long commute, and spending more time on what matters—your clients, your personal life, and your community.
Tech & Innovation: Be part of a firm that’s committed to leveraging technology to improve every aspect of legal work. We’re always learning, always optimizing.
Professional Growth: Opportunities for career advancement and skill development are central to our culture. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us.
If you’re ready to join a law firm that’s committed to not only doing things differently, but doing them better, we’d love to hear from you.
Reach out to us and let’s start a conversation about what your future at DL&Co. could look like (drop a note to Wendy at wallan@leighco.ca). This isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to help shape the future of law. We can’t wait to hear your ideas.
