About the Opportunity

A workplace that values collaboration, learning, and professional growth, with leaders who are approachable and supportive.

Competitive compensation, comprehensive health and dental benefits, RRSP matching, education support, wellness initiatives, fitness reimbursement, paid overtime with the option to bank additional vacation time, and flexibility around vacation entitlement for experienced candidates.

• You'll prepare and proofread a variety of legal documents, correspondence, and closing materials with a high level of accuracy.
• You'll provide administrative support across the Real Estate team, responding to changing priorities and assisting where coverage is needed most.
• You'll coordinate calendars, meetings, boardrooms, deadlines, file openings, and closing activities to help keep legal matters on track.
• You'll maintain both electronic and physical files, update workflow systems, and manage document organization and filing.
• You'll communicate with lawyers, colleagues, and external contacts to obtain information and coordinate day-to-day activities.
• You'll assist with expense reports, invoices, time entries, document production, scanning, printing, and other administrative tasks.

Skills and Qualifications
