About the Opportunity

Our client is a rapidly growing Ontario personal injury law firm with offices in Toronto and Ottawa. As the firm scales, they are creating a dedicated senior legal role focused entirely on client intake, consultation, and retainer conversion — a critical function in their growth model.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Personal Injury Lawyer who is ready to step away from traditional litigation responsibilities and instead focus on client acquisition, conversion, and firm growth impact.

The Role

As the Intake & Onboarding Specialist, you will serve as the first senior legal point of contact for qualified prospective clients following initial screening.

You will conduct high-value consultations and are responsible for converting qualified leads into signed retainers.

This is not a billable litigation role. Performance is measured by conversion rates, responsiveness, and quality of retained matters, not hours billed or files litigated.

You will work closely with the intake team, who handle initial screening and conflict checks, allowing you to focus fully on consultation and closing.
