We are advancing and transforming on our corporate mission “Flight Path” to become a Top Ten global airline in everything we do.
We have an innovative and passionate team of over 75 legal and compliance professionals and support staff that continues to earn the respect and confidence of its internal clients, participating as true business partners to support Air Canada’s strategic objectives.

A minimum of three (3) to five (5) years of relevant experience in a leading law firm or an established in-house legal department.
Demonstrable commercial law background and experience in the drafting and negotiation of a variety of commercial agreements is key.
Particular experience in contracts relating to at least one of the following areas is an asset: procurement of “mission critical” goods and services, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), or information technology (IT).
A passion for learning and gaining a deep understanding of the business to more effectively support strategies and objectives.
Strong written and oral communication skills, possess good business judgment and be strategic, pragmatic and thorough with a solid ability to assess legal and business risk.
Strong drafting, negotiating and analytical skills, be a leader, self-motivated and someone who thrives on challenges and having responsibility and who enjoys working in a dynamic and constantly evolving environment alongside a very cohesive team of professionals.
The successful candidate will have a track record demonstrating the following qualities or characteristics:
Drive for results and urgency and motivation towards achievement of goals.
Ability to understand, anticipate and meet “client” needs, effectively communicating and always remaining cognizant of related risks.
Strong desire to participate as part of a team, with an ability to contribute to a shared sense of direction.

Capacity to work autonomously and under pressure, displaying composure in difficult situations, demonstrating thoroughness, tenacity and resilience to persevere.
Have a practical and business-oriented approach, recognizing the operational and commercial implications of any commercial arrangement.
The successful candidate will be willing to go beyond a defined role, to tackle issues oneself as a means to increase overall effectiveness and who looks at the broad context to decide what action is called for to achieve the desired result. She or he will be prepared to pursue the tough option if it means doing the right thing for the business. She or he will consider the financial, operational or strategic impact of all actions and decisions and ensure that these factors are appropriately considered.
The ability to convey messages and thoughts clearly, concisely, persuasively and in a focused manner; to listen and question appropriately to gain full understanding; to tailor the message appropriately to the listeners; and to share information, ideas and feedback in a timely manner are essential. Integrity (including a strong work ethic, high personal standards, discretion in handling sensitive and confidential information, dedication to follow through on commitments, and openness and honesty in communications as well as a respectful demeanor) is assumed. The successful candidate will be one who takes pride in her or his role as a representative of Canada’s flag carrier.
Solid academic credentials and a proven track record must be demonstrated. Membership in the Bar of a Canadian Province or U.S. State is essential and common and civil law training is an asset.
Intangible Benefits
The successful candidate will often be required to work autonomously but will have the benefit of working closely and exchanging with other counsel and internal clients who have acquired a broad and deep understanding of all commercial aspects of the business. While demands are often as high as in private practice, workflow tends to be more predictable. The work is diverse and challenging and not monotonous. There are regular opportunities for exposure to new mandates; the range of available work is wide, and quality is typically high.
An international dimension is also present for one for whom an international practice, based in Montreal, is an attraction.
Linguistic Requirements
Based on equal qualifications, preference will be given to bilingual candidates.
