  • Assess and negotiate liability limitations, indemnities, warranties, performance guarantees, specifications, testing and acceptance, delivery, payment, intellectual property, termination rights and dispute resolution.
  • Integrate legal analysis with engineering realities: assess technical obligations, scope, performance criteria, commissioning requirements and change-order provisions in consultation with engineering and operations.
  • Negotiate industrial and commercial real estate leases, addressing operating costs, repairs, environmental matters, assignment, renewal and termination rights; assist with acquisitions and related agreements.
  • Advise on supplier contracts, confidentiality arrangements, joint ventures and other Canadian and U.S. transactions, involving specialist counsel when appropriate.
  • Engage, direct and manage outside law firms; evaluate advice, control fees and translate specialist recommendations into workable agreements and commercial decisions.
  • Prepare concise executive summaries of key risks, proposed compromises and unresolved issues; escalate material departures from approved positions and secure final executive approval.
  • Collaborate closely with sales, finance, engineering, project management and operations; develop templates, negotiating playbooks and efficient contract-review procedures.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from a recognized university (mandatory).
  • LL.B. or J.D. degree and membership in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario, or eligibility to obtain Ontario licensure promptly (mandatory).
  • At least 5 years of relevant legal experience, with substantial direct responsibility for negotiating complex commercial agreements; exceptional candidates with less experience may be considered.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently prepare substantive contract redlines and negotiate effectively with sophisticated legal and procurement teams.
  • Strong judgment concerning commercial risk, technical feasibility and when external specialist advice is required.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to advise executives concisely and manage parallel negotiations with limited supervision.

Preferred Experience

  • In-house or private-practice experience with manufacturing, engineered equipment, energy, industrial projects or technical services.
  • Working knowledge of commercial issues related to engineering specifications, installation, testing, commissioning and performance guarantees. In-house or private-practice experience with manufacturing, engineered equipment, energy, industrial projects or technical services.
