    • Draft, review and negotiate a broad range of agreements and other legal documents.
    • Assist with securities regulatory compliance and governance matters.
    • Collaborate with internal teams and affiliate managers to manage legal risks and resolve legal issues.
    • Support growth initiatives, including affiliate manager acquisitions and strategic investments.
  • Provide supplementary legal advice and support across various aspects of AGF's business and operations.

Your Qualifications/Competencies:
