Providing strategic legal advice on lease structuring, property/asset management, development rights, environmental matters, litigation and other landlord and tenant issues.
Advising on transaction structures involving public and private-sector partners, joint ventures, development partners and other stakeholders.
Providing legal advice throughout the development lifecycle, from early feasibility and structuring through approvals, financing, construction, project delivery and long-term operations.
Providing legal advice on construction and capital projects, including construction agreements (e.g. CCDC and OAA), consultant agreements, low carbon and sustainability initiatives, procurement, project delivery, insurance, contractor/consultant performance, change orders, claims, disputes, litigation and other construction related matters.
Conducting due diligence on real estate and commercial leasing transactions, including title searches and corporate searches.
Navigating legal and regulatory challenges to achieve CreateTO’s broad business and policy objectives.
Providing direction and supervision to external counsel, including with respect to litigation, arbitrations, mediations and expropriations.

CANDIDATE ATTRIBUTES

An experienced lawyer with 7+ years of broad real estate, commercial leasing, development and construction experience that meets the above requirements, and the ability to lead cross-divisional teams to resolve legal issues.

Aptitude for detail, with a high level of accuracy and superior legal drafting skills.
Exceptional organizational skills are necessary to coordinate a variety of responsibilities, in an often-changing environment, to achieve stated goals and objectives.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to exercise good judgment, tact and discretion.
Ability to work with highly confidential information with both maturity and professionalism.
A high degree of competence in verbal and written communication.
Ability to solve problems and take the initiative.
