Job description

Legal Counsel

The Armour Group Limited is one of the leading hospitality, development, and construction companies in Atlantic Canada. With more than 50 years of history, this family‑owned firm continues its proud history of creating a sense of place in Nova Scotia, carefully designing, developing, constructing and operating some of our region’s most iconic buildings and businesses, including Muir Hotel, Queen’s Marque District, Delta Hotels by Marriott Dartmouth, Freehand Hospitality, Historic Properties, Westway and Park Place corporate campuses and Kings Grove. The Armour Group Limited is seeking a Legal Counsel to join our team.

Reporting to the Associate General Counsel, the Legal Counsel will provide strategic support and advice to the company on a wide range of legal matters. The successful candidate will be capable of working in a broad, fast‑paced legal role that requires engagement across all operational teams. They will have the opportunity to practice in a collaborative environment as part of a strong and well‑integrated legal team, taking on interesting and varied legal work.

As the Legal Counsel, your work will include:

  • Drafting and negotiating commercial leases.
  • Drafting, reviewing, negotiating and interpreting contracts and other agreements.
  • Providing guidance and advice on a variety of subjects, including corporate, employment, regulatory, litigation and legal disputes, due diligence, insurance claims, legal and administrative processes and procedures, and other matters as they may arise.
  • Assisting operational departments with dispute resolution, including drafting notices and negotiating a resolution.
  • Providing support on full‑cycle transactions, including corporate, real‑estate and commercial financing.
  • Overseeing corporate matters, including incorporations, annual renewals and maintenance of corporate records.
  • Managing litigation and other disputes, including providing representation in Small Claims Court.
  • Assisting with policy and procedure review, development and compliance.

What we are looking for:

  • 3+ years experience as lawyer at a law firm or in‑house legal department.
  • Qualified to practice law in Nova Scotia.
  • Experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating complex agreements, applying sound judgment.
  • Prior experience with commercial leases would be an asset, but not having experience in this area should not discourage otherwise qualified applicants.

Skills and Abilities:

  • Proven track record of problem‑solving skills, informed decision‑making and good judgment.
  • A strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, embracing new challenges and taking initiative.
  • Adaptable, with the ability to prioritize effectively in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Strong customer focus with dedication to teamwork and collaboration.

What is in it for you?

  • Group RRSP plan with optional matching
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Continuing education support
  • Discounts at selected Freehand Hospitality restaurants
  • On‑site fitness facilities
  • Opportunity for internal career growth
  • Comprehensive Health and Dental Benefits
  • Working alongside a collaborative team of likeminded individuals

Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
