We are seeking a talented lawyer to permanently join our team of experienced real estate and property development professionals at a workplace that offers work-life balance and hybrid-working options.

Reporting to the Senior Staff Lawyer, and working alongside another real estate lawyer and two real estate paralegals, the Staff Lawyer will provide development and real estate legal services to the City's planning, real estate, engineering and project management professionals.

In the role of Staff Lawyer on our team, you can look forward to handling a broad range of matters with an emphasis on:

  • Land development projects, where the City is acting in a regulatory capacity through the rezoning, subdivision and development permit processes or as a property owner for its own land development projects
  • Purchase and sale of City lands, including land exchanges and road closures
  • Leases, licences and other interests in land and contracts related to City services, utilities, real property and other assets
  • Complex air space subdivisions for mixeduse projects
  • Drafting and interpreting land developmentrelated bylaws.


This is a rare opportunity to work in your field of expertise away from the often cliché corporate office life.

As the successful applicant, you will be well-versed and knowledgeable in real estate transactions, land use planning processes and development-related legal issues, as well as technical knowledge of the LTSA electronic filing system and LTO practices and procedures.

Familiarity with general municipal law and local government issues is particularly desirable.
