Sagard is seeking a strategic, operationally driven Manager, Corporate Paralegal Services to join its legal team, which consists of approximately 20 full-time employees, in order to support the company’s accelerated growth.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and overseeing corporate governance processes across Sagard’s global entities, funds, SPVs, and management companies;
  • Managing corporate secretarial activities, including board and shareholder meetings, resolutions, minute books, and statutory filings;
  • Maintaining and optimizing complex, multi-jurisdictional entity structures;
  • Supporting fund launches, restructurings, and lifecycle events while coordinating with fund administrators, auditors, and external advisors;
  • Overseeing corporate aspects of capital calls, distributions, redemptions, and investor reporting processes;
  • Providing senior oversight of transaction execution, including closings, entity formations, board approvals, and document management;
  • Partnering with deal teams and external counsel on investments, financings, restructurings, and exits;
  • Strengthening governance policies, regulatory compliance frameworks, and risk management processes;
  • Leading and developing a high-performing Corporate Services team while driving operational efficiency and legal technology initiatives.

We are seeking a seasoned professional with significant experience in corporate governance, legal, or fund operations, ideally within a private equity or alternative asset management environment. The ideal candidate brings strong leadership, organizational, and project management skills, along with the ability to navigate complex transactions and multi-jurisdictional structures in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Are you a paralegal with relevant experience who is looking for an opportunity to play a strategic role within a rapidly growing company? We would like to hear from you! Ref. #T34245
