WHO WE ARE
ME Law Qualified 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.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY IS DIFFERENT
Most lawyers join law firms after the defining moment has already passed. The risk was absorbed by someone else. The culture was set before they arrived. The path upward is defined, narrow, and slow. What they inherit is a structure—not an opportunity.
This role is different in a way that matters. 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 contribution is recognized.
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. They are not simply changing employers. They are making a deliberate decision about who they want to become and where they want to build their careers. The common themes we hear:
- More Responsibility, Sooner
- Direct Access to Leadership
- Faster Advancement
- Courtroom Advocacy
- A Firm Going Somewhere
- Profit Participation
WORKING DIRECTLY WITH MAY ELAJAMI
Founder, CEO & Principal Lawyer — ME Law Professional Corporation
Many lawyers choose firms because of who they will learn from. 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.
Her practice record reflects the calibre of work you can expect to be involved in:
- 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 ac
