Legal Counsel, Employment Law & Litigation | Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (Toronto)
Join a world-class global investor and help shape the future of a premier Enterprise Legal Services team.
The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) is seeking a collaborative and strategic Employment & Litigation Lawyer (4–6 years’ experience) to join our Toronto-based team.

The Opportunity

You will balance independent file management of straightforward litigation with high-level partnership on complex, high-risk, or strategically sensitive global projects.
What You’ll Do

Strategic Advisory: Provide practical, business-oriented advice on terminations, performance management, accommodations, and workplace investigations.
File Management: Independently lead routine and moderately complex employment matters from demand through resolution.

Civil Litigation: Manage straightforward civil and employment litigation files, including oversight of external counsel.
Pension Support: Assist in managing pension-related disputes and recovery matters.
Operational Excellence: Implement legal holds, oversee document preservation, and track litigation budgets.
Who You Are
Qualified: 4–6 years of progressive labour, employment, and civil litigation experience (In-house or Private Practice).
Legal Expert: Strong grounding in Ontario employment law and litigation procedure; called to the Bar of Ontario in good standing.
Solution-Oriented: You have the "business grit" to assess risk and provide actionable guidance rather than just legal theory.
Accountable: You take extreme ownership over your files and know exactly when to escalate complex or novel issues.
Communicator: You can translate "legalese" into clear strategy for stakeholders across People & Culture, Privacy, and Communications.
What OTPP Offers
We believe in investing in our people as much as we invest in the fund. Our "Total Rewards" package includes:
