- Work with YVR’s legal team (other legal counsel, paralegal and administrative assistant) on team initiatives.
**Key qualifications include**:
- 3+ years of relevant experience at a corporate/commercial law firm or in-house legal department, supplemented by a LL.B. or J.D. degree (or equivalent) and good standing with a Canadian Law Society.
- Experience in commercial leasing and general corporate law; experience in land development is an asset.
- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to meet deadlines and manage a variety of projects simultaneously and balance conflicting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate legal advice in a clear and practical manner.
- Ability to work independently with a high degree of initiative and desire for continuous learning opportunities.
- Demonstrate sound, pragmatic judgment with the ability to problem-solve and critically analyze situations.
