Boutique Family Law Practice looking for our next great Family Lawyer and Team Member
Who We Are
Anthony Family Law (AFL) is a boutique family law firm based in Vaughan, Ontario, with a satellite office in Windsor. We handle the full spectrum of family law matters — parenting disputes, financial disclosure, property division, support, and everything in between. Our clients come to us because they need knowledgeable, responsive lawyers with experience in dealing with their most important family matters.

We are a small, purposeful team and our practice has grown steadily on the strength of our work and client relationships. We have more work than our current team can carry. So here we are.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a lawyer who can take ownership of their work and move files forward with confidence.

This is a file-carrying role. You will manage your own matters from the outset, with genuine mentorship available from both partners.

You have 3–5+ years of post-call experience in family law, with courtroom experience. You are comfortable managing an array of matters independently, from initial client contact through to resolution.

You regularly use AI and modern legal technology, such as Westlaw AI and similar platforms. Not only do you regularly use them, you are excited about the potential these tools have to benefit your clients and the future of your practice.

We are looking for someone innovative who has initiative. You think beyond simply completing tasks. You are interested in how legal work can be done better — more efficiently, more thoughtfully, and with better outcomes for clients.

You don’t need constant oversight, but you also exercise good judgment about when to collaborate. You are comfortable picking up the phone, talking through an issue, and keeping momentum on your files.

You communicate clearly and professionally with clients and opposing counsel. You are responsive, organized, and focused on achieving strong outcomes for clients.



You take pride in helping clients through their matters with care and professionalism.

We are also interested in lawyers who bring experience outside of core family law — such as wills and estates, real estate, or adoption and guardianship — or who have an interest in developing in those areas over time. As a firm, we see an opportunity to expand our service offering, and the right candidate may play a role in that.

If this sounds like you, keep reading.

Requirements

Ontario licensee in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario

3–5+ years of post-call family law experience across divorce, custody, support, and property division

Experience conducting trials considered an asset

Demonstrated, active use of AI legal research and practice tools — required, not optional

The ability to carry files independently and communicate proactively with clients

Access to a vehicle for travel in the GTA

What You’ll Get

Compensation: $110,000–$150,000 base salary, commensurate with experience and negotiable bonus structure

Group benefits (health and dental)

LSO annual fees and LawPRO premium paid by the firm

Education and CPD fund

Mentorship from two partners who know what it takes to build a practice

Exposure to complex, substantive family law matters with meaningful file autonomy from day one

Business development opportunities to enable you to grow your practice

A Word from David Anthony, Managing Partner
We are a small team, and we are intentional about who joins it. This is not a role for someone who needs a job. It is a role for someone who wants to build something and be part of a growing practice. If you want to own your work, develop your skillset, and help clients through some of the hardest moments of their lives with professionalism and clarity, this is a great place to build. If you can see yourself as a member of a close-knit team that values accountability, good judgment, and steady growth, I encourage you to apply.

Anthony Family Law is an equal chance employer.
