Canada Boyden Full time

Location Toronto, ON Organization Overview The Law Society of Ontario (LSO) regulates, licenses, and disciplines Ontario’s legal professions in the public interest, overseeing more than 60,000 lawyers and 11,000 licensed paralegals across the province. With a staff of approximately 550, the organization provides a wide range of regulatory, licensing, adjudicative, and client-facing services, while also supporting the professions through equity programs, competence initiatives, and continuing professional development. Le Barreau de l’Ontario (BO) réglemente, autorise et encadre les professions juridiques de l’Ontario dans l’intérêt du public. Il supervise plus de 60 000 avocats et 11 000 parajuristes titulaires de permis à l’échelle de la province. Comptant environ 550 employés, le Barreau offre un vaste éventail de services réglementaires, d’octroi de permis, d’adjudication et de services aux clients, tout en soutenant la profession grâce à des programmes d’équité, des initiatives sur la compétence et des activités de perfectionnement professionnel continu. Role Overview The LSO seeks a Corporate Secretary to serve as its senior governance professional and Secretary to Convocation and the Treasurer. Reporting to Convocation through the Treasurer, the Corporate Secretary ensures the integrity, transparency, and efficiency of governance—supporting Convocation and committees, safeguarding records and filings, and stewarding modernization of policies, structures, and systems. A major focus will be implementing Governance Reform recommendations to strengthen effectiveness, accountability, and public trust. Le Barreau de l’Ontario est à la recherche d’une ou d’un secrétaire général pour agir à titre de professionnel principal en gouvernance et de secrétaire du Conseil et du trésorier. Relevant du Conseil par l’entremise du trésorier, la ou le secrétaire général assure l’intégrité, la transparence et l’efficacité de la gouvernance : elle ou il soutient les travaux du Conseil et de ses comités, protège les registres et dépôts officiels, et pilote la modernisation des politiques, structures et systèmes. Un aspect clé du rôle consiste à mettre en œuvre les recommandations de la réforme de la gouvernance afin de renforcer l’efficacité, la reddition de comptes et la confiance du public. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is a respected governance leader with deep experience in board and committee operations, ideally in a regulated, self-regulatory, or public-interest context. Known for sound judgment, discretion, and diplomacy, they bring advanced knowledge of governance law, by-laws, and modern board procedure; proven experience enabling governance reform and digital board practices; and exceptional communication and organizational skills. They are an impartial “honest broker” who supports evidence-based deliberations and collaboration among Benchers, the Treasurer, and senior leadership. La personne idéale est une leader respectée en gouvernance, dotée d’une vaste expérience du fonctionnement des conseils et comités, idéalement dans un milieu réglementé, autoréglementé ou d’intérêt public. Reconnue pour son jugement sûr, sa discrétion et sa diplomatie, elle possède une connaissance approfondie du droit et des règlements en matière de gouvernance, une expérience démontrée dans la mise en œuvre de réformes et de pratiques numériques de gestion des conseils, ainsi qu’un sens aigu de la communication et de l’organisation. Elle agit avec impartialité et intégrité, soutenant des délibérations éclairées et une collaboration constructive entre les conseillères et conseillers, le trésorier et l’équipe de direction.
