Paralegal/Clerk

Paralegal/Clerk

The Paralegal provides essential operational and legal support to the Legal Department by managing corporate governance matters, supporting litigation and dispute management, administering the contract repository, and assisting with legal operations and compliance initiatives. The role is designed to increase the department's capacity and efficiency by removing administrative, coordination, and documentation responsibilities from attorneys, allowing them to focus on high judgment legal work. The Paralegal works closely with internal stakeholders and external counsel to ensure legal matters are well organized, tracked, and executed in accordance with company standards and risk tolerance.

What will you do as the Paralegal/Clerk

• Support corporate governance activities, including maintaining entity records, minute books, resolutions, director and officer information, and related filings across Canada and the United States.
• Assist with litigation and dispute management by coordinating documentation, tracking key dates and milestones, liaising with outside counsel, and maintaining matter summaries.
• Administer the contract repository, ensuring executed agreements, amendments, and related documentation are accurately stored, organized, and searchable.
