Strategic Lawyer – Commercial Law and Contracts

Strategic Lawyer – Commercial Law and Contracts

Montréal

Do you enjoy when the law drives action? When your contracts help structure major projects and your legal advice genuinely influences decision‑making?

If you are looking for a role with real societal impact, this opportunity is for you!

What makes this role different:

• A practice focused on strategy, public tenders, negotiation, and risk management—upstream from projects;

• A solutions‑oriented legal practice, embedded in business realities;

• A purpose‑driven role. A strong team. A genuine quality of life.

We are recruiting a Commercial Legal Counsel for a leading public organization in the collective transportation sector. Its mission is essential, tangible, and highly visible.

You will join a senior, collaborative legal team known for its openness and willingness to share expertise. Legal counsel works closely with business units, procurement teams, and senior leadership. You are consulted early and play an active role in shaping projects.

Your practice will focus on commercial law and contracts, including public procurement processes, complex agreements, negotiations, risk management, legislative interpretation, development of contract templates, and oversight of external legal mandates.

You are a member of the Barreau du Québec with approximately five years of experience in commercial or public contract law. Experience in compliance, technology law, or within a public or parapublic environment is considered an asset.

This position also stands out for its exceptionally attractive working conditions:

• Highly competitive benefits, and a strong organizational culture that genuinely values work‑life balance;

• Flexible schedule, predominantly remote work, a 37.5‑hour work week.

INTERESTED IN THIS CHALLENGE? We look forward to meeting you!

Please send your application as soon as possible to: droit@groupemontpetit.com, indicating the reference number: 26-0178P.
