Who We Are ME Law Professional Corporation is a litigation boutique headquartered in Toronto's Yorkville district—Canada's most prestigious commercial address—with an expanding presence in Vancouver. We focus exclusively on high-stakes disputes, acting as lead counsel for business owners, corporations, investors, professionals, trustees, executors, and high-net-worth individuals navigating complex commercial, estate, real estate, financial, and cross-border matters. ME Law Professional Corporation is a litigation boutique headquartered in Toronto's Yorkville district—Canada's most prestigious commercial address—with an expanding presence in Vancouver.

We focus exclusively on high-stakes disputes, acting as lead counsel for business owners, corporations, investors, professionals, trustees, executors, and high-net-worth individuals navigating complex commercial, estate, real estate, financial, and cross-border matters. We do not practice all areas of law.

We practice one with singular dedication: litigation. From first pleading to final judgment, from urgent injunction to appellate argument, from domestic trial to international arbitration—we prepare, we advocate, and we execute. Founded in 2019 and scaled to more than twelve legal professionals through reputation and organic growth alone, ME Law is entering its most significant period of expansion.

We are investing—deliberately and ambitiously—in talent, technology, artificial intelligence, business development infrastructure, and the long-term institutional foundations of a nationally recognized disputes practice. Most lawyers join law firms after the defining moment has already passed. The risk was absorbed by someone else.

You are being invited to join during the scaling phase—the period when the decisions made today will define the firm's character, its leadership, and its direction for the next twenty years. When performance is visible. When the people who help build something consequential share in what it becomes.

Unlike a large national firm, you will not be one of dozens of associates competing for a handful of committee-selected partnership positions a decade from now. You will be a named contributor to a rapidly growing litigation practice, with direct access to firm leadership, meaningful courtroom experience from an early stage, and a genuine pathway toward senior roles, profit participation, and future partnership consideration. WHY LAWYERS JOIN ME LAW The lawyers who choose ME Law do so for reasons that matter to them professionally over the long term.

Associates at ME Law carry files with genuine independence and direct client accountability. Your performance is seen and recognized.

Courtroom

Advocacy ME Law produces advocates, not drafters. Expanding from Toronto to Vancouver, into international arbitration, and toward potential offices internationally elsewhere. Your long-term contribution to the firm's success is recognized financially.

Founder, CEO & Principal Lawyer — ME Law Professional Corporation At ME Law, that person is Mayssia (May) Elajami—founder, trial lawyer, entrepreneur, and one of the driving forces behind what we are building. May founded ME Law from the ground up in 2019, establishing the firm in Yorkville—Toronto's most commercially demanding address—and scaling it through organic growth and client outcomes to more than twelve professionals and counting. She holds dual bar admissions in Ontario and British Columbia, and brings a litigation background that spans criminal advocacy, commercial litigation, estate disputes, receivership proceedings, international arbitration, and cross-border enforcement.

Won an 8-day civil trial securing a client's property valued at over $2M on complex arguments of bare trust doctrine, equitable title, and constructive trust — as lead counsel Lead counsel in a complex corporate and family dispute valued in excess of $15M, advanced through strategic multi-party litigation proceedings Resolved a high-profile corporate dispute of approximately $20M and estate succession matters exceeding $8M, navigating competing beneficiary claims and intricate equitable arguments Obtained an ex-parte Mareva injunction in British Columbia for a Silicon Valley-based startup, on a matter involving assets exceeding $50M Collaborated with a UK firm on a landmark private international law matter,



successfully proving English law — not Canadian law — governed a domestic dispute, securing a decisive jurisdictional advantage Regular appearances before the Toronto Commercial List — Canada's most sophisticated commercial court, operating analogously to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York in jurisprudential complexity Before founding ME Law, May spent two years a criminal litigator, conducting an average of two to three trials per week from start to finish across Toronto's court system. That foundation — forged in high-volume, high-stakes advocacy — defines the litigation philosophy and preparation standards at ME Law. May is a recognized voice in Canada's evolving legal technology landscape, serving as a keynote speaker for Thomson Reuters on AI-powered legal research and as a moot coach at Osgoode Hall Law School, where her coached teams won the regional championship in 2024–25.

ME Law was among the first Canadian boutique firms to deploy AI-powered legal research at scale. A HIGH-PERFORMANCE CULTURE Advocacy that is prepared well enough to win THE PURSUIT OF LITIGATION EXCELLENCE At ME Law, we believe that exceptional litigation outcomes are not produced by talent alone. Every motion argued, every discovery conducted, every injunction obtained or defeated—these are not administrative exercises.

They are performances that define what clients believe we can do for them. The lawyers who thrive at ME Law are the ones who believe that preparation is not a burden—it is a competitive advantage. That thoroughness is not optional—it is the foundation of every excellent outcome.

That advocacy is not simply a professional function—it is the defining skill of a litigator, and it must be developed with the same commitment that a world-class athlete brings to their craft. COURTROOM ADVOCACY — DEVELOPED, NOT DELEGATED At many large firms, associates spend years drafting documents, preparing materials, and supporting advocacy that is performed by others. They become excellent technical lawyers with limited courtroom experience.

By the time they reach senior associate or junior partnership level, their advocacy skills have not kept pace with their substantive knowledge. ME Law operates differently. Associates at ME Law are expected to develop as advocates—not merely as drafters.

From early in their tenure, they will be appearing before the courts, developing courtroom judgment, and building the kind of advocacy presence that only comes from being in the room.

The Advocacy Experience You Can Expect

We are building toward a nationally recognized litigation boutique with an international disputes practice—one that serves sophisticated clients across. Lawyers who join during this scaling phase have the opportunity to grow alongside the firm's international ambitions—developing cross-border expertise, building international client relationships, and positioning themselves for roles that do not yet exist but will. THE AI-NATIVE LAW FIRM The legal profession is not simply changing. Artificial intelligence, workflow automation, and intelligent knowledge management systems are not future considerations. The firms that recognized early that technology was competitive infrastructure—not administrative overhead—will have structural advantages over the next decade that are difficult to close. ME Law intends to be among those firms. We were among the first Canadian boutique firms to deploy AI-powered legal research at scale.

We do not view the associate relationship as a temporary arrangement—we view it as the beginning of a long-term professional investment that, for the right individuals, will evolve significantly over time. Clear progression from associate to senior counsel Semi-annual performance bonuses for sustained billing targets Annual discretionary bonuses for exceptional contribution Lawyers who demonstrate exceptional advocacy skills, strong business development instincts, and a genuine commitment to what ME Law is building will be considered for future equity participation and partnership—on a timeline that reflects their contribution, not an arbitrary seniority threshold. For lawyers at a large national firm wondering whether they will ever be more than a senior associate, that distinction matters.

We offer a competitive and performance-oriented compensation structure designed to reward excellence and align the interests of our lawyers with the long-term success of the firm. Competitive base salary with structured increase after onboarding Onboarding retention bonus Semi-annual performance bonuses tied to sustained billing output Cutting-edge AI technology and legal research tools Annual discretionary bonus for exceptional performance Paid vacation, sick days, and personal/floater days Business development and client origination bonuses Clear advancement pathway with performance-based progression Opportunity for future partnership and equity participation Specific compensation details, including billable targets and bonus structure terms will be discussed in full during the interview process as we are committed to transparency and to structuring arrangements that reflect the contribution and ambitions of each candidate. The legal profession is at an inflection point.

The firms that will define the next generation of Canadian litigation are being shaped right now—by the decisions they make about talent, technology, and strategic direction. ME Law is making those decisions with intention. We know the kind of firm we are building, the kind of lawyers we want to build it with, and the kind of practice we believe the market will reward over the next two decades.

If you are a litigator with three to seven years of experience who believes that the best version of your career has not yet been defined—who wants more responsibility, more visibility, more access to consequential advocacy, and a genuine long‑term stake in something growing—we want to hear from you. ME Law Professional Corporation is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse and inclusive skilled environment. #
