Job Description

At McCarthy T\xc3\xa9trault, we offer challenging and rewarding career opportunities and are delighted to have been selected for the eleventh consecutive year in 2023 as one of Canada\xe2\x80\x99s Top 100 Employers and one of Canada\xe2\x80\x99s Best Diversity Employers.

The role is predominantly a French language role.

Our paraprofessional team that is based in Montreal or Quebec City may be involved in national and international commercial transactions and work with English speaking documents and clients. This cannot be fulfilled by a team member assisting the incumbent as the role requires a working knowledge of English to provide support to a large national and international legal team.

  • Updating the minute books under your responsibility.
  • Performing minute book reviews in the context of a due diligence, drafting the corporate review reports and drafting the corrective resolutions.
  • Interacting with clients and lawyers when the circumstances require it.
  • Assisting paralegal from other departments, as required.
  • Performing any other tasks associated with this position.

As our ideal candidate, you will distinguish yourself by the following profile:
  • College diploma in paralegal studies or law degree.
  • A minimum of seven years of relevant experience in corporate law.
  • Capacity to manage many files simultaneously and work well under pressure.
  • Strong analytical and organizational skills.
  • Detail and solution oriented, ability to meet deadlines and take initiative.
  • Exercise judgment and make decisions.
  • Strong team work skills and ability to interact with support staff and specialists at all levels.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both French and English.

As a member of the McCarthy team, you will have access to:
  • Outstanding benefits from day one, including insurance premiums paid by the Firm and wellness and technology reimbursements.
  • Competitive compensation, paid overtime and generous time off, including a day off to volunteer.
  • A commitment to professional development and growth opportunities for our people at all levels, supported by a culture that fully embraces and encourages two-way feedback.
  • Strong community involvement and a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
  • A collaborative, cohesive culture that connects lawyers and business teams through collective purpose.
