Assistant General Counsel

The Company is seeking an Assistant General Counsel to provide strategic legal advice to an assigned region or business unit. The role partners with business leaders to identify legal issues early, assess risk, and offer practical recommendations, while advising on complex, high-value, or otherwise business-critical agreements. Responsibilities also include escalating legal and regulatory concerns to specialist teams, supporting audits and investigations, and serving as a business liaison for litigation and transaction-related matters. The position delivers tailored legal training, tracks relevant legal developments, and contributes to improving legal processes and escalation protocols. Candidates must hold a J.D., have active U.S. bar admission, and bring at least 10 years of combined law firm and/or in-house experience; admission to practice in a Canadian province is an advantage. Strong commercial judgment, experience working in a matrixed organization, and the ability to advise senior leaders and manage stakeholder relationships are required. Experience in commercial real estate, professional services, or a similarly complex multinational environment is preferred. French fluency is an asset.
