Here’s how

We are seeking a lawyer to support TELUS’ consumer businesses, with a focus on the Québec market. As a member of the Consumer legal team, you will be engaged in a wide variety of legal matters, including reviewing advertising and marketing materials, advising on existing and emerging consumer products and services, supporting technology and supplier agreements, and drafting customer contracts and terms of service. Your practice will also touch upon privacy, competition and intellectual property. 

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to: be a part of one of Canada’s leading in-house legal teams; join an innovative and leading Canadian company with global operations; gain exposure to legal issues across TELUS’ diverse range of business groups including telecommunications, health, and security; learn and develop as a lawyer and trusted business partner; and engage in a broad and challenging legal portfolio.

The Consumer legal team is very collaborative (and friendly!) and we work cross-functionally with other members of the TELUS Legal & Regulatory team and across the organization. We offer many opportunities for both formal and informal mentorship and development. 

The position is ideal for a mid- to senior- level lawyer with 7-10+ years from their call to the Bar. The position is located in Toronto, Montréal or Vancouver, with the ability to work remotely or in the office.
