Job Description

The Senior Legal Counsel will serve as a key employment law advisor across Klick’s offices and jurisdictions, with a focus on practical, business-aligned legal guidance.

  • Develop employment law frameworks, templates, and internal guidance to improve consistency and reduce legal exposure across Klick offices
  • Partner with People Practices, Finance, and Operations to identify employment risk and support practical, compliant business decisions
  • Support general corporate and commercial contracting matters, including MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, licensing agreements, and vendor negotiations
  • Manage external counsel on specialized employment matters, including strategy, timelines, costs, and outcomes

Qualifications

Required:

  • 7–10 years of legal experience with significant employment and labor law experience across advisory, compliance, policy, and workplace matters
  • Juris Doctor, LLB, or equivalent legal degree with active bar admission in at least one Canadian or U.S. jurisdiction
  • Demonstrated experience advising senior stakeholders on employment agreements, terminations, accommodations, workplace policies, and regulatory compliance
  • Experience supporting multi-jurisdictional employment matters across Canada and/or the U.S., with examples of cross-border legal guidance or external counsel management
  • Strong contract drafting and negotiation experience across commercial agreements such as MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, licensing agreements, or vendor contracts

Desired:

  • Comfort and enthusiasm for using AI as a regular part of how work gets done
  • Experience providing employment law counsel in a professional services, agency, healthcare, or life sciences environment
  • Familiarity with Canadian and U.S. employment standards, provincial labor codes, and cross-border employment considerations
  • Knowledge of privacy and data protection law, including PIPEDA or U.S. state privacy statutes, as related to employee data
  • Experience advising on executive compensation, equity arrangements, internal audits, employment training, or M&A-related employment matters
  • Interest in legal technology, contract automation, and AI-assisted legal research tools

The base salary range for this position is between CAD $150,000 - $180,000. The final amount offered will be determined based on several factors such as a candidate's work location, their unique skill set, education, and prior work experience.
