Legal Counsel — Construction & Commercial LawOntario | Full-Time, Permanent | 3–5 Years of Call (Ontario)Current VacancySalary: $120,000 - $155,000Build Your In-House Practice HereWe are a growing Ontario‑based group of companies with two distinct but connected businesses: a construction division delivering design‑build and construction management projects, and a data centre division that develops, designs, and operates critical infrastructure. With roughly 150 people across the organization, we are operationally sophisticated and commercially active — and our legal function sits at the centre of everything we do.What You Will DoWith our construction team you will spend time drafting, reviewing, and negotiating construction contracts and subcontracts — principally CCDC standard forms and their supplementary conditions — and advising our project teams on contract administration, claims, payment obligations, and dispute avoidance. You will work directly with project managers and senior leaders to provide practical, deal‑enabling legal advice across the full project lifecycle.With our data centre team you will support the development program through out each stage of a project from land acquisition, permitting, financing, leasing and operations. The remainder of your time will be spent on general legal matters: commercial contracts, employment law support, finance‑related reviews, and compliance work. In our lean in‑house team, no two days look the same,



and you will have genuine exposure to the full range of matters that support two sophisticated operating businesses.What You Bring3‑5 years post‑call with membership in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario.Solid grounding in construction law — you know your way around CCDC forms, understand Construction Act mechanics including prompt payment and adjudication, and have advised on real construction matters.Strong drafting and negotiation skills; you can spot the risk, explain it plainly, and help find a workable path forward.A team‑oriented, pragmatic mindset — you are a problem‑solver first, and you know that the best legal advice is advice that the business can actually use.Comfort managing competing priorities in a quick‑moving environment.Prior in‑house experience is an asset, though not required — we are happy to support a motivated private practice lawyer making the transition.Why Join UsDirect exposure to complex, high‑value construction and infrastructure projects from day one.A true in‑house generalist platform — construction and development are the anchor, but you will grow across commercial, employment, and corporate matters.A collaborative team environment where your work is visible, your contributions matter, and your development is supported.Competitive compensation commensurate with in‑house market rates for an Ontario lawyer at your level of call.A business that values legal counsel as a genuine partner in its success, not just a service function.EEO StatementWe are committed to employment equity and welcome applications from all qualified individuals. Accommodations are available on request throughout the recruitment process.#J-18808-Ljbffr
