IO’s Transaction Services and Corporate Legal Enterprise Team provides professional support to all parts of the agency. Lawyers within the team specialize in services that support infrastructure and commercial projects, construction, real estate and leasing, lending, privacy protection, government affairs, litigation, and contract management.

As part of Infrastructure Ontario’s Transaction Legal team, you will have an opportunity to play a leading role in Ontario’s most important and complex projects, including major infrastructure projects and other government initiatives leveraging private sector partnerships.

What You Will Do:
  • Provide high-quality and commercially-minded legal advice and service to internal clients and senior management on matters related to the planning, procurement, construction and operations of major provincial infrastructure projects.
  • Support Major Projects teams from a legal standpoint in the procurement, construction, and operations of major provincial infrastructure projects (e.g. hospitals, courthouses, correctional facilities, highways, and rail/transit).
  • Support Commercial Projects teams to deliver value for the public sector in novel and unique initiatives to leverage private sector partnerships and investments to help generate revenue, reduce costs, and create efficiencies in government services and investments.
  • Be closely involved in structuring and implementing major infrastructure projects which will often require innovative thinking to develop and negotiate agreements reflecting the needs of each project.
  • Draft, review, analyze and negotiate complex agreements, memoranda, and procurement documents to manage risk and ensure that the government’s objectives are achieved.
  • Advise on and assist in resolving construction and operational disputes.
  • Ensure compliance with Infrastructure Ontario’s governance requirements.
  • Build and maintain effective working relationships with project partners, funding partners, industry players and other stakeholders.
  • Oversee and direct external counsel; interpret and disseminate legal advice and recommendations to senior lawyers and clients.
  • Represent Infrastructure Ontario in relations with representatives of the government, stakeholders, media, and general public.
  • Educate legal team and internal clients on legal matters through discussions and presentations.
  • Assume other legal duties as assigned.
Who We're Looking For:
  • University degree in law (LLB or JD) and membership in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario.
  • Minimum of a few years’ experience practicing law or similar related experience in one or more of the following areas: construction law, infrastructure law, real estate law, procurement law, project finance law, and corporate law. We encourage candidates with construction law experience to apply.
  • Experience with P3 or other project finance transactions is an asset.
  • Dispute resolution experience is an asset.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills, including the ability to communicate complex legal issues in a way that can be understood by both lawyers and non-legal clients.
  • The ability to thrive in a fast paced, high pressure and multi-task environment with changing priorities.
What's In It For You:
  • Commitment to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture that promotes a sense of belonging and represents and reflects the needs of the communities we serve.
  • A flexible, hybrid work approach that allows colleagues to find balance between their professional and personal lives and making the most of the benefits of working remotely and purpose-driven in-person collaboration opportunities.
  • Support for professional development opportunities for all colleagues through a broad range of learning programs that include in-person and online training, leadership development, and support for colleagues’ well-being. IO will also cover the costs associated with up to two membership and license fees per year for eligible colleagues if directly related to the employee’s role.
  • Access to a suite of virtual healthcare options to support non-urgent medical needs.
  • A convenient, central location at 1 Dundas St West, easily accessible by public transit.
