This Corporate Legal Counsel role is ideal for a professional who enjoys partnering with business leaders, solving complex commercial and regulatory challenges, and working within a fast-paced multinational environment. The right person will recognize this role as a natural next step based on their corporate and commercial law experience and desire to play a more strategic role within the business.

Why This Role
This role offers the opportunity to become a trusted advisor to senior leadership, gain exposure to a global organization operating across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Australia, and further develop expertise in commercial law, governance, compliance, and cross-border legal matters. Unlike similar legal positions, this opportunity places you close to the business, allowing you to influence decisions, support growth initiatives, and help manage organizational risk.

The Role: Corporate Legal Counsel
In this role, you will spend most of your time advising business leaders on commercial and operational legal matters, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, supporting compliance and governance initiatives, and managing legal risk. You will work closely with senior leadership, operational stakeholders, procurement teams, and external counsel while helping the organization achieve strategic objectives across Canada and the United States. This role balances hands-on legal work with business partnership responsibilities, providing clarity on expectations from day one.

What You'll Bring
Required:
  • Member in good standing of a Canadian Law Society
  • LL.B., J.D., or equivalent legal degree
  • Bilingual English and French communication skills
  • 6-10 years of post-qualification experience
  • Strong corporate and commercial law experience
  • Ability to provide practical legal advice to stakeholders across multiple business functions
Assets:
  • Manufacturing, industrial technology, HVAC, or energy industry experience
  • Experience supporting Canadian and U.S. legal matters
  • Admission to a U.S. state bar

Benefits & Environment
Benefits for this role include competitive compensation, professional development opportunities, exposure to international business operations, and a collaborative environment that values sound judgment, innovation, and business-focused legal advice. You will join an organization committed to growth, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
