A City of Toronto agency, CreateTO works collaboratively with internal stakeholders, external partners and community members to create more livable, sustainable and inclusive communities. CreateTO is here to increase the social, cultural and economic value of our city’s $27-billion real estate portfolio, ensuring positive impacts for residents and a bright future for Toronto.

We are looking for a lawyer who understands the business and strategic objectives behind a transaction, can identify and manage risk while minimizing project delays, and can provide clear, practical advice to senior leaders and project teams. If you’re passionate about contributing to the best use of one of North America’s largest and most valuable real estate portfolios, we’d love to have you on the team.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Supporting the legal aspects of the assigned portfolio of projects and corporate functions.
Providing advice on legal implications related to CreateTO’s projects.
Maintaining an awareness of legal and regulatory matters relevant to achieve CreateTO’s broad business and policy objectives.
Advising project leads on all legal matters affecting CreateTO’s projects and business arrangements to support operational decision-making.

PRINCIPAL FUNCTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Maintaining a deep understanding of CreateTO’s business and industry and providing leadership in operational business decisions from a legal perspective.
Leading the drafting and negotiating of complex real estate and leasing transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions, leases, licences, easements, rights-of-way, development agreements, reciprocal rights and operating agreements, and other property-related arrangements.
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.
Ideally will have had exposure to public and private sector real estate interests and land use planning, as well as gained corporate governance experience and board experience.
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.

TOTAL COMPENSATION

The salary range for this position is $128,270 to $192,910 annually, with the expected range for this role to start between $150,000 to $160,000 commensurate with qualifications and experience.
