Ticket911.ca is an established, high-volume law practice representing clients in traffic, penal, and criminal matters throughout Québec.

This is an excellent opportunity for a young lawyer who wants to develop strong litigation skills, take responsibility for their own files, appear regularly before the courts, and gain significant hands-on experience early in their career.

Unlike positions where junior lawyers may spend much of their time working behind the scenes, this role offers direct exposure to clients, prosecutors, negotiations, hearings, and trials.

- Handling impaired driving and related criminal matters
- Working on other criminal and penal files
- Appearing before courts throughout Québec
- Negotiating resolutions with prosecutors

- Reviewing evidence and assessing potential defences
- Developing litigation and negotiation strategies
- Drafting motions, applications, correspondence, and other legal documents
- Preparing clients and witnesses for court
- Managing files and ensuring procedural and court deadlines are respected




- Providing clients with practical and strategic legal advice throughout their files

Travel may occasionally be required for court appearances outside Montréal. Ticket911.ca covers required business travel expenses. Who We're Looking For The ideal candidate enjoys advocacy, wants to be in court, and is looking for an opportunity to develop quickly as a litigator.

- 1–3 years of legal experience
- Membership in good standing with the Barreau du Québec

- Confidence dealing directly with clients, prosecutors, and the courts
- Strong organizational skills and attention to deadlines
- A genuine interest in criminal, penal, and traffic law

Experience in criminal or penal litigation is an asset, but we are particularly interested in candidates who are motivated to learn, take responsibility for files, and develop their courtroom skills. Why Join Ticket911.ca?

- Manage your own files
- Work directly with clients
