Québec, Quebec, Canada ZSA Legal Recruitment Full time

10 years +, Nuns' Island or Quebec City

Our client, the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB), represents over 15,000 real estate brokers and agencies, accounting for more than 92% of professional real estate brokers. QPAREB's mission is to support, train, inform, and defend the interests of its members, while promoting and developing the practice of real estate brokerage.

To successfully fulfill its mission, QPAREB is seeking a General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.

In this newly created position, you will report to both the Board of Directors (for governance and secretarial matters) and to the President and CEO (for legal affairs). You will oversee three professionals, including two trained lawyers. Your role will be structured around two main areas:

  1. Corporate Secretariat and Governance: You will ensure the smooth functioning of the Board of Directors and its committees, overseeing the organization of meetings and the necessary follow-ups. You will establish a governance program, internal policies and procedures, and develop tools to train directors on best practices relevant to the field.
  2. Legal Affairs: You will serve as a resource person for the Board of Directors, the CEO, and department heads on all matters with legal implications for QPAREB. This will include, but is not limited to, drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts; contract interpretation; reviewing calls for tenders; liaising with the regulator; handling competition-related matters; supervising mandates assigned to external lawyers; and, when necessary, intervening in the management of disputes and litigation affecting the organization.

Are you a leader who excels at establishing new functions? Do you have ten or more years of experience in business law, including corporate secretariat and governance matters? If you are a member of the Quebec Bar and fluent in both French and English, we would love to hear from you. This position can be based on Nuns' Island or in Quebec City, with the option to work remotely up to two days per week. For candidates based in Quebec City, please note that regular presence in Nuns' Island will be required.

This is an exclusive search with ZSA Legal Recruitment. All CVs sent directly to QPAREB will be redirected to ZSA for review.
