Senior Lawyer - Business Law (Transactional, Predominantly English Practice)

Lépine Talent

Our client, a leading international law firm based in Montréal, is seeking a Senior Transactional Business Lawyer recognized for the quality of their legal drafting in English.

The firm is looking to welcome a professional with an exceptional command of legal writing, capable of drafting, reviewing, and structuring complex transactional documents in English, in close collaboration with the firm’s partners.

This is a key role, strongly focused on legal execution and high-level transactional work, ideal for a lawyer who wishes to concentrate on transactional practice without the constant pressure of business development.

The Role

  • Work primarily on cross-border and pan-Canadian transactions
  • Collaborate closely with partners in the preparation, drafting, and review of transactional documents in English
  • Draft contracts, agreements, commercial arrangements, and closing documents in English
  • Act as second chair on complex and structuring matters
  • Work alongside legal teams across Canada and internationally
  • Occasional client interaction, without this being the core focus of the role

Profile Sought

  • Approximately 10 years of experience or more in transactional business law
  • English-dominant practice required, both written and spoken
  • Outstanding legal drafting and document review skills in English
  • Comfortable in a strategic, rigorous, and highly technical support role
  • No book of business required
  • A portable book of business is an asset, but not essential
  • Clear desire to focus on legal practice rather than business development

Benefits

  • Sophisticated, complex, and intellectually stimulating transactional matters
  • An international, structured, and highly collaborative environment
  • Genuine recognition for lawyers who excel in execution, analysis, and legal craftsmanship
  • A credible and rewarding alternative to the traditional “rainmaker”-driven model
