Litigation Legal Counsel Jobs in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada at FedEx Express
Position: Employment/Litigation Legal Counsel
If we’re going to work together, let us first introduce ourselves – because we are proud of our team at Fed Ex Express Canada. You know us as a global transportation company – and we’ve shipped some pretty interesting things over the years, like part of the ship’s hull of the Titanic, a windmill, race cars, a helicopter, the shark from Jaws and a lot of panda bears who get their own chartered airplane!
So, let’s get started telling you why you might be the perfect fit for our team. If you are a positive, high-energy person with experience in Employment Law and Litigation, we have a great job for you!
We’re looking for an Employment/Litigation Legal Counsel and we promise it’s a really fun role! You get to:
Provide legal counsel and advice to the corporation and its affiliates to ensure adherence to federal, provincial and local employment laws.
Advise the corporation on laws affecting the hiring, termination, compensation, benefits and training of company personnel.
Review corporate policies and procedures. Advise Human Resources and other stakeholders on the application, meaning, and impact of such policies and procedures.
Handle litigation to which the corporation is a party, including monitoring the performance and progress of outside counsel representing the corporation in such litigation.
This job might be for you if you:
Thrive in a dynamic environment where you are comfortable working cross functionally by advising key stakeholders on laws and compliance regulations.
And – we’d love if you’re really good at the below as well:
Review and analyze laws and regulations affecting the company’s present and future plans to implement the best business structure for legal compliance.
Evaluate legal issues involved in claims by or against the corporation and determine the appropriateness of litigation or settlement.
Handle drafting court documents, taking depositions and other discovery, formulating trial strategy and trying cases.
So what do you need to do all of this? How about…
Bachelor of Law degree or JD required
Member in good standing in the Law Society of Ontario
Experience in an employment law or litigation role
Robust understanding of Canada Labour Code, Human Rights Act, and other employment legislation

A fun and diverse team who voted Fed Ex a best employer and a great place to work (we aren’t just saying that – it’s actually true)
We don’t expect you to deliver any helicopters or pandas – but if you can deliver on this exciting job opportunity, please attach your updated resume when applying. We thank all applicants, and we will contact you directly – by email, not by Fed Ex – if selected for an interview.
