  • Advise business stakeholders on pharmacy, healthcare, and health professions regulatory matters
  • Support strategic business initiatives, transactions, and operational matters across multiple affiliated businesses
  • Assist with smaller-scale corporate and M&A matters
  • Provide practical, business-oriented legal and risk-management advice to internal teams
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders on technology contracting, privacy-adjacent matters, and evolving digital initiatives
  • Manage and liaise with external counsel where required
  • Contribute to the development and improvement of legal templates, processes, and operational efficiencies
  • Participate actively within a collaborative and high-performing legal team environment

  • Strong corporate/commercial drafting and negotiation experience
  • Experience with technology agreements, SaaS, privacy, data-sharing, or healthcare/pharmacy-related matters is considered a strong asset
  • Exposure to regulatory, corporate commercial, and/or M&A work preferred
  • Bay Street training strongly preferred
  • Candidates with in-house experience at established organizations or major technology companies will also be considered
  • Strong business judgment and the ability to provide practical, commercially focused legal advice
  • Self-starter with excellent organizational, prioritization, and project-management skills
  • Collaborative mindset with strong interpersonal and relationship-building abilities
