Senior Consultant, Legal Recruitment & Client Development

Overview

Life After Law is expanding, and we're looking for an experienced, commercially minded legal professional to join our team as a Senior Consultant, Legal Recruitment & Client Development.
 
This is not a traditional recruiting role—and it's certainly not a typical legal job.
 
This is an opportunity to build a long-term, highly rewarding career at the intersection of law, business development, and trusted advisory work, helping lawyers and legal teams make some of the most important decisions of their careers.
 
The Opportunity
As a Senior Consultant, you will operate as a strategic advisor to law firms, in-house legal teams, and senior legal leaders across Canada. You will own and grow client relationships, lead searches end-to-end, and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of Life After Law's national practice.
You will be given autonomy, accountability, and significant upside, alongside the support of a well-established brand with a 25+ year reputation in the legal market.
 
What You'll Do
  • Build, expand, and manage long-term relationships with law firms and in-house clients
  • Lead business development efforts, including identifying new opportunities, markets, and client needs
  • Act as a trusted advisor to clients on hiring strategy, market conditions, and talent planning
  • Source, assess, and represent high-calibre legal talent across a range of practice areas and seniority levels
  • Manage full-cycle searches—from initial client conversations through to successful placement
  • Conduct high-volume, high-quality outreach by phone, video, and in-person meetings
  • Represent Life After Law within the legal and business communities through networking and relationship building
This Role Is a Strong Fit If You:
  • Are a lawyer or senior legal professional exploring a credible and respected alternative career path
  • Are commercially driven and enjoy relationship-based sales and advisory work
  • Thrive in an entrepreneurial environment with autonomy and accountability
  • Have a proven ability to set ambitious goals and consistently meet or exceed them
  • Are confident, persuasive, and comfortable leading senior-level conversations
  • Build trust easily and maintain long-term professional relationships
  • Have strong business judgment, negotiation skills, and executive presence
Why Life After Law
  • A nationally recognized brand with deep roots in the Canadian legal market
  • A role that combines strategy, business development, and people advisory work
  • Flexible location and work structure
  • Significant earning potential tied directly to performance
  • The opportunity to build a lasting career—not just fill roles
If you're looking for a role where your legal background, commercial instincts, and relationship-building skills can truly shine—and where your success directly shapes your income and impact—we would love to hear from you.
