About 123Dentist
At 123Dentist, we’re redefining the future of dental care across Canada. As one of the country’s largest networks of dental practices, with more than 475 locations and over 7,000 employees, we empower dentists with the tools, resources, and support they need to focus on what they do best: patient care. Our in-house teams span finance, HR, operations, marketing, and legal, all working together to help our network grow and thrive.
About The Role
This isn’t a narrow, siloed legal role. As Corporate Legal Counsel, you’ll have the rare opportunity to become a true generalist, working across commercial, real estate, M&A, employment, corporate governance, intellectual property, risk management, and regulatory matters, all within a single fast-moving organization.
You’ll work closely with our Operations, HR, Marketing, Procurement, and Corporate Development teams, providing practical, business-enabling legal advice that keeps things moving. Whether you’re drafting a commercial agreement, negotiating a lease, or helping navigate a complex cross-functional issue, you’ll be a trusted partner to the business, not just an order-taker.
If you’re a confident, commercially savvy lawyer who thrives in a lean and entrepreneurial environment and wants to grow fast, this role is built for you.
What You’ll Do
- Provide strategic legal guidance across a wide range of matters to internal teams including Operations, Corporate Development, HR, Marketing, and Finance
- Handle day-to-day corporate legal work spanning commercial agreements, employment (contract drafting and disputes), real estate (leases, renewals, extensions), corporate secretarial and governance, and dispute and litigation management
- Partner with external counsel as needed and distill complex legal advice into clear, actionable guidance for business stakeholders
- Collaborate cross-functionally to align legal strategy with business objectives and foster a pragmatic, business-enabling legal culture
- Help shape the evolution of the legal department as the organization continues to grow
What You Bring
- JD or LLB and a Bachelor’s degree
- Membership in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario (or a provincial equivalent)
- 1–3 years of corporate/commercial law experience from a well-regarded law firm or in-house legal department
- A business-oriented mindset; you understand commercial context and know how to assess legal risk pragmatically
- Strong drafting, negotiation, and communication skills, with outstanding attention to detail
- High degree of autonomy and sound judgment; you don’t need to be told twice
- A collaborative, team-first approach to problem-solving
- A natural bias to action and the ability to think sharply under pressure
- Ability to practice law in French is a significant asset
Why Join 123Dentist?
- Gain rare breadth as a true legal generalist across multiple practice areas
- Work in a high-performing, collaborative in-house legal team
- Be part of a growing organization where your work has real, visible impact
- Partner directly with senior leadership and cross-functional business teams
- Build your career in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment that rewards initiative
