Town of Hampstead

Our client, the Town of Hampstead, is seeking a Clerk and Legal Counsel to support its team.

Reporting to the Director General, you will be the sole in-house legal counsel. At least half of your time will be spent coordinating monthly or special Town Council meetings and public consultation meetings, for which you will act as Secretary: issuing notices, preparing agendas and minutes, following up on required signatures and approvals, etc. You will also be called upon to provide general legal advice on a regular basis, whether it be on matters relating to municipal by-laws, the application of laws governing municipal management or the sale of properties for non-payment of taxes, for example. You will also act as a point of contact for the Town’s external lawyers, be responsible for the application of the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies, etc.

Are you interested in the municipal environment and want to join a tight-knit team? Are you looking for stability and a real opportunity to balance your work and personal life with a 4 ½ day work week and a hybrid telecommuting post-pandemic work arrangement? If you are fluently bilingual and have been a member of the Bar or the Chambre des notaires du Québec for at least 5 years, we would like to talk to you. Ref. #31412

This is a mandate entrusted exclusively to ZSA. Resumes sent to or contact made with the Town of Hampstead will be forwarded to ZSA for review.
