Additionally, the ability to work with considerable autonomy, show initiative in decision-making, and pay exceptional attention to detail in all related tasks is of critical importance.

- at least two years of experience in compliance, legal administration and/or paralegal experience in a law office, a regulatory body, public sector, or non-profit organization.

Professional regulatory experience in compliance, unauthorized practice, and/or administrative law is considered an asset.
