About the Role

Are you an expert in the Ontario condominium landscape? Cartel Inc. is a specialized legal recruitment agency, and we have been retained by a leading Downtown Toronto firm to find a high-caliber Senior Real Estate Law Clerk (5+ years experience) with a focus on condominium development and high-volume closings.

This role is designed for a technical specialist who understands the lifecycle of a condo project—from the initial disclosure statement to the final unit transfer. Our client manages sophisticated residential and mixed-use developments and requires a Clerk who can operate with high autonomy and precision.

What You’ll Do

• Development Management: Oversee commercial and residential condominium files from start to finish, including the administration of occupancy and final closings.
• Condo-Specific Documentation: Prepare and manage disclosure statements, unit transfers, and amendments. Coordinate the execution of APS (Agreement of Purchase and Sale) documents.
• Commercial & Project Financing: Support the administration of construction financing and commercial loans, ensuring all security documentation and funding requirements are met.
• Corporate Support: Assist with the preparation of corporate resolutions, incumbency certificates, and related entity documentation required for complex real estate transactions.
• Financial Administration: Independently manage and track escrow deposits, developer levies, and occupancy fees.
• Title & E-Reg: Conduct complex title searches under the Land Titles Act, resolve registration issues, and prepare all necessary documents in Teraview and LawyerDoneDeal.
• Liaison & Communication: Act as the primary point of contact for developers, purchasers’ solicitors, and financial institutions.
• Due Diligence: Coordinate owner and lender title insurance policies and respond to detailed requisition letters for large-scale projects.

What You Bring

• Experience: 5+ years of solid experience in Ontario real estate practice with a heavy emphasis on condominium development and commercial real estate financing.
• Preferred Skills: Experience with corporate/commercial law, including the maintenance of minute books and corporate filings for development SPVs, is considered a significant asset.
• Technical Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Teraview and LawyerDoneDeal. Candidates must be comfortable managing high volumes of data and deadlines.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Condominium Act and the Land Titles Act.
• The “X” Factor: Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to maintain sophisticated “bring forward” systems for project milestones.
• Education: Law Clerk diploma or equivalent professional experience.
