Our client, Yoplait Libertxc3xa9 Canada (xc2xab Yoplait xc2xbb), is part of the Sodiaal Group, a leading French dairy cooperative, which brings together more than 17,000 farmers.

Your role will include negotiating and drafting a variety of commercial agreements, including supplier, service, customer, distribution, and IT contracts. Additionally, you will advise the company on legal matters related to marketing and advertising law, employment law (in a non-unionized environment), competition law, and more. You will ensure that the company's practices comply with applicable laws and regulations, implement legal procedures and templates, and provide internal training as needed. When required, you will also act as the primary contact for external lawyers in dispute management.
If you are known for your practical and business-oriented mindset, we would love to talk to you! To qualify, you must have at least 8 years of relevant experience in business law, be a member of the Quebec Bar, and be bilingual. The company offers stable working hours and the possibility of partial remote work. The position is based in downtown Montreal. Ref.: #33540
