The Opportunity
We are currently seeking a Legal Counsel (Employment Litigation) to join our Canadian Legal Department on a 12‑month contract. This hybrid role is based in Ontario and offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of employment law, labour relations, human rights, occupational health and safety, and litigation within a complex, fast‑paced national organization.
This position will play a key role in supporting the business across employment and labour matters, workplace investigations, employment practices and workers’ compensation insurance issues, and dispute resolution.

You are comfortable managing files independently while knowing when to escalate issues appropriately. You bring strong judgment, excellent communication skills, and the ability to move seamlessly between advisory work and active litigation support. You are adaptable, solution‑oriented, and confident navigating evolving legal and business priorities. You take ownership of your work, manage competing deadlines effectively, and approach risk with a balanced, business‑minded lens.
What’s In It for You?
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a well‑respected global organization during a period of ongoing transformation and change.
