Legal Officer 2 / Legal Officer 3
Alberta Justice & Solicitor General, Edmonton. Do you enjoy the analytical side of legal work? If so, you will find these two vacancies of interest. Each offers a rare opportunity to review, critique and augment legal argument in a venue where the results of your work may influence the development of the law.
The Court of Appeal of Alberta sits in both Edmonton and Calgary and hears appeals from the Court of Queen's Bench, Provincial Court and administrative tribunals. Members of the Alberta Court of Appeal are the core of both the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Courts of Appeal.
Legal Counsel to Chief Justice - Legal Officer 3:
The Senior Legal Counsel reports to and works closely with the Chief Justice of Alberta. In assisting the Chief Justice in her roles as Administrator of the Province, top judge, Court administrator, judicial educator, and public speaker, you will provide high-level research on a wide range of topics which may be legal, social, institutional, economic or procedural in nature. This work involves analyzing case law and statutes, assessing their impact, and providing advice and/or interpretations on a wide range of complex matters relating to legal issues. This position may also involve reviewing appeal matters before the Court, and drafting pre-hearing summaries, briefs and memoranda.
Other duties may include, but are not limited to:
Drafting speeches, papers and other written material for the Chief Justice
Serving on committees
Participating in special projects
Any other function or work in the nature of barrister and solicitor services required by the Chief Justice
The ideal candidate will take a proactive approach to identifying, assessing and referring to the Chief Justice legal matters which involve issues of substantial importance, and must be able to propose strategic solutions and successfully implement changes as required. This will require the incumbent to have the ability to think and analyze situations quickly in a demanding environment.
Legal Counsel - Legal Officer 2:
The Legal Counsel will assist two Court of Appeal Justices. You will help the Justices prepare for the hearing of appeals and applications, do legal research, prepare legal memoranda, edit materials, and draft various communications. You will be required to assist with administrative responsibilities, work co-operatively with other Justices and court legal counsel, and supervise articling students.
The position is intellectually demanding and offers an exceptional opportunity to work closely with an Appellate Judge(s) on a daily basis. As well, you will work with the Justice(s) in a mentoring relationship, and will gain a unique and valuable perspective in the practice of appellate law and written advocacy.
For both positions, exceptional organizational, problem-solving, prioritizing/multi-tasking skills, and exemplary written and verbal communication skills, are essential. Well-developed legal research skills are also required. The incumbent must be able to work in a highly demanding environment with limited supervision.
Salary commensurate with experience:
Legal Officer 2 - $5,517.78 - $6,833.07 bi-weekly
Legal Officer 3 - $7,115.61 - $7,889.89 bi-weekly. Closing Date: April 30, 2018. Job ID #1048187
Qualifications:
Legal Officer 3 - A Bachelor of Laws (LLB) or Juris Doctor (JD) degree along with a minimum of eleven (11) years of legal experience is required. A master's degree is preferred. Extensive experience with Canadian legal research tools and well-developed research skills are also required. Related work, law journal and legal writing experience would be beneficial. Eligibility for entrance to the Law Society of Alberta is required.
Legal Officer 2 - A Bachelor of Laws (LLB) or Juris Doctor (JD) degree along with a minimum of four (4) years of legal experience is required. Extensive experience with Canadian legal research tools and well-developed research skills are also required. Related work, law journal and legal writing experience would be beneficial. Eligibility for entrance to the Law Society of Alberta is required.

We thank all those who apply. Only those selected for further consideration will be contacted.
Shopify is the leading cloud-based, multi-channel commerce platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses. Merchants use our software to design, set up, and manage their stores across multiple sales channels, including web, mobile, social media, marketplaces, brick-and-mortar locations, and pop-up shops. We currently power over 600,000 stores in approximately 175 different countries, including stores for Nestle, Red Bull, Rebecca Minkoff, and Kylie Cosmetics.
As Shopify grows, we face increasing volume, scope and complexity in our legal work. As Corporate Legal Counsel at Shopify, you will work on challenging and novel legal issues in multiple geographies. You will need a broad base of legal knowledge, solid technical and research skills, a wealth of experience, common sense and grit. You must be able to synthesize and analyze information from a variety of sources, spot issues, and efficiently and determinatively come to a business-focused solution that mitigates risk on a tight timeline with limited resources and judicious use of external counsel where necessary. You will own the implementation and management of your solutions over the long-term. The ability to re-calibrate, iterate or pivot when faced with new information or changing circumstances is key.
Reporting to Erin, our Vice-President, Assistant General Counsel, you will regularly support a variety of Shopify teams and collaborate with members of Shopify’s legal team.
Although the role will be ever-evolving, currently we are looking for someone who will be responsible for:
incorporating and managing subsidiaries in multiple international jurisdictions;
designing and managing subsidiary corporate governance practices and policies;
designing and managing processes to support Shopify as we expand into new geographies, both as a service provider and as an employer, and dealing with issues as they inevitably arise;
negotiating, drafting and reviewing a variety of agreements (for example employment agreements, facilities leases, terms of service, procurement agreements, license agreements); and
assessing and communicating legal risk while collaborating on the development of business strategies.
Some requirements for this role:
A JD or LLB
Relevant legal experience, ideally having started out at a law firm followed by in-house experience
Licensed to practice law in either a Canadian or American jurisdiction
Experience reviewing, drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements
Experience incorporating and managing international subsidiaries
Experience leading projects and managing multiple priorities, stakeholders and deadlines
Ability to both work collaboratively as part of a team and on an individual basis without a lot of guidance or oversight
Experience managing external legal counsel Ability to thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment
Exceptional business judgement, relationship-building skills and creativity
Strong written and interpersonal communication skills
A good sense of humor (we take our work very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously)
Our ideal candidate is a book and street smart lawyer who strives for excellence, and who knows that there is always room for continuous improvement. Someone who thrives on change, embraces challenge, is passionate about delivering exceptional legal work and will be committed to helping build a best-in-class legal team at Shopify. Someone with a “no problem is too big if it needs solving, no job is too small if it needs doing” attitude.
We know that applying to a new role takes a lot of work and we truly value your time. Experience comes in many forms! If your experience comes this close to what we are looking for, please consider applying. Erin is looking forward to reading your application before March 23rd, 2018.
