Hi there Thanks for stopping by

Are you actively looking for a new opportunity? Or just checking the market? Wellyou might just be in the right place

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel to join our Legal team in Montreal. You will be drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, and generally collaborating with Lightspeed's business divisions to address intricate and unprecedented challenges within the context of a technological enterprise.

What you’ll be doing:

- Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts with customers, strategic partners, and vendors/suppliers.
- Delivering legal and general commercial advice to key stakeholders across all Lightspeed departments.
- Training colleagues and stakeholder groups on what to watch out for from a legal perspective.
- Conducting ad hoc analyses and facilitating complex, cross-functional, and/or multi-jurisdictional projects.

- Supporting litigation and other disputes management, as needed.
- Building and improving upon the Commercial legal team’s systems / processes.

What you need to bring:
We’re a legal team of 18 people located in Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. This presents an exceptional prospect to align yourself with a dynamic and agile organization, and to work on a Legal team that empowers you to make an impact through individual contributions.
- 2-4 years of post-qualification experience in a law firm and/or as in-house counsel, preferably with exposure to international, multi-jurisdictional matters.
- Broad commercial experience. Extensive background in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts, terms and conditions, and other similar contracts is a must-have.
- Professional-level proficiency in English.
- Comfortable communicating with colleagues and stakeholders on different levels, and with different professional and cultural backgrounds.

Even better if you have, but not necessary:

- Experience working in different jurisdictions and languages; (ii) the technology, financial services, and/or SaaS industries.
- Bonus for specific experience with partnership agreements (referral, reseller and integration), SaaS contracts and procurement contracts.
- Knowledge of and experience with Privacy, IP, Fiscalization, and Corporate laws.

We know that people are more than what’s on their CV. If you’re unsure that you have the right profile for the role... hit the ‘Apply’ button and give it a try

What’s in it for you?

Come live the Lightspeed experience...
- Ability to do your job in a truly flexible hybrid environment (3 days/week in office);
- Genuine career opportunities in a company that’s creating new jobs everyday;
- Work in a team big enough for growth but lean enough to make a real impact.

and enjoy a range of benefits that’ll keep you happy, healthy and (not) hungry:

- Lightspeed RSU program (we are all owners)
- Unlimited paid time off policy
- Flexible working policy
- Health insurance
- Health and wellness benefits
- Possibility for transit fees to be covered
- Paid leave assistance for new parents
- Linkedin learning

Where to from here?
Obviously, this has to be mutually beneficial: we want you to step into a role you love, and we want to offer you a place you’re proud to come to every day..
