Legal Opportunities

Head of Legal | 10+ Years | Fraser Valley, BC

We’re working with a group of diversified businesses, with over 2,000 employees between 4 companies in the Fraser Valley, now looking to hire their first in-house lawyer to head up their legal operations and provide guidance to their various business units. Reporting directly to the President, this position requires a dynamic leader with broad experience in corporate/commercial law with particular emphasis on construction and real estate matters.

There is a manufacturing and materials bent to some of the businesses, and apart from general commercial matters, you will be dealing with an array of contracts for existing and new construction projects, real estate transactions, litigation management, compliance and employment law. This is a rare opportunity to grow and develop alongside a dynamic and diverse group of businesses.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 10 years’ experience, ideally having managed a broad legal remit in-house. You will be a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is adept at building strong relationships with multiple stakeholders. The businesses are all based around the Langley and South Surrey area, so it’s an ideal position for someone living in the Fraser Valley and tired of the commute downtown. For more information or to apply, please contact Mike Race or Amrit Rai at legalBC@zsa.ca quoting reference BT29573.

Head of Legal (Technology company) | 7-15 years | Vancouver, BC

Our client, a rapidly growing technology consulting company with global reach, is looking to hire their first In-House Counsel. It’s an exciting time to join this innovative and ambitious team, and head up their internal legal function.

Headquartered in Vancouver, you will be the key resource for all legal matters, manage the compliance functions, and coordinate with external counsel. The position is fairly broad in scope, but strong experience around commercial contracts in the tech space is essential. Experience having worked in-house in a technology company will also be highly regarded. The balance of the role covers major business transactions, including acquisitions, financing/funding, employment, and litigation management.

You will be part of the leadership team working alongside the senior management team and therefore a strategic and commercial mindset is necessary. To discuss this position further, please contact Mike Race or Amrit Rai at legalBC@zsa.ca. Ref. #BT29824.

Senior Immigration Lawyer | 5+ years | Fraser Valley, BC

Our client, a busy boutique law firm located in Surrey, is seeking a lawyer with significant immigration experience to assist in a mentorship capacity. This will not be a practising role - the firm is looking to retrain some of their current lawyers to work in immigration. The incumbent will not be required to bring clients, but it would be helpful if they are open to directing business development activities.

The successful candidate will have at least five years of immigration experience, and will have leadership abilities and be an all-around team player. Punjabi language skills are an asset, but not necessary. For more information, or to apply, please contact Mike Race or Amrit Rai at LegalBC@zsa.ca or 604-681-0706, quoting reference #BT29869.
