About Davidson & Company

At Davidson & Company, our people are our greatest strength. Since our founding in 1984, our entrepreneurial spirit has guided our growth to nearly 200 professionals, establishing us as one of British Columbia’s largest independent CPA firms and Canada’s leading public auditor.

Based in our downtown Vancouver office, we provide audit, tax, valuation, and advisory services to a diverse global client base. Our teams work closely with senior leadership and the Board to support strategic growth, manage risk thoughtfully, and uphold the highest standards of governance and accountability.

We value flexibility, autonomy, and meaningful impact. We believe the most effective advisors are those who understand the business as deeply as they understand the law.

About the Role

We are seeking a versatile in-house Senior Legal Counsel, to serve as a trusted advisor to our Partners and senior leaders. This role operates at the intersection of strategy, governance, and execution, making it ideal for a seasoned legal professional who can balance high-level advisory with hands-on management of day-to-day legal matters. The successful candidate will play a key role in enabling the Firm’s growth while ensuring strong governance, effective risk management, and ongoing regulatory compliance.

As a generalist, the Senior Legal Counsel will support the organization across a broad range of legal and regulatory matters including corporate and commercial advisory, regulatory compliance + ethics, risk management + professional liability, employment law, strategic growth + transactions, and privacy + date governance amongst other areas. This position offers significant autonomy and influence and is ideal for someone with strong judgment, a pragmatic mindset, and the confidence to operate effectively in an agile, lean, and fast-paced firm.

This is a new role for Davidson, and we are open to flexible work arrangements, including full-time or part-time, as the firm grows.

Manage and assist with the resolution of client disputes and sensitive matters, including those involving public companies, while coordinating with internal stakeholders, external counsel, regulators, and clients

Manage and coordinate litigation, disputes, and investigations where necessary involving external counsel where needed

Provide guidance on data privacy, confidentiality, and information governance requirements ensuring compliance with privacy legislation

Advise on employment and human resources–related legal matters ensuring compliance with employment legislation and best practices

Support mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic growth initiatives, including due diligence and transaction documentation

Advise on new service offerings and client engagement models

Manage and coordinate external legal counsel effectively and cost-efficiently where required

Develop, enhance, and scale internal legal processes, templates, and documentation

Qualifications & Experience

7+ years of legal experience, including in-house corporate experience and/or private practice followed by in-house roles

Bachelor’s degree and Juris Doctor (JD), Bachelor of Laws (LLB), or equivalent legal degree from a recognized law school

Experience with professional services environment preferred, but not required

Demonstrated ability to operate as a hands-on, full-scope legal generalist

Proven ability to work independently in a lean, high-responsibility environment

Strong business acumen, sound judgment, and a pragmatic approach to risk management

Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage confidently with executive leadership and Boards

Admission to practice law in a relevant Canadian jurisdiction

Compensation

We believe in transparency and fairness when it comes to compensation. For this role, the annual salary range is $170-190K, depending on experience. Our total rewards package adds more value beyond the base salary.
