About the Senate

The Senate plays a unique role in shaping our country’s democracy. As members of the upper house of Parliament, senators examine legislation, study public policy, champion causes and conduct interparliamentary diplomacy.

As a workplace, the Senate is composed of dynamic people representing our nation’s diverse talents, backgrounds and perspectives. We are committed to building and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone is provided full and equal opportunity and access to employment, development and advancement. Build and advance your career by joining a team of dedicated professionals who are committed to excellence in support of senators and the institution.

How will you contribute?

As Senior Parliamentary Counsel, you will provide expert legal advice in a unique parliamentary environment where law, procedure, public policy intersect. Reporting directly to the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel, you will support the Senate, its committees, senators and the Senate Administration on complex legal matters, including constitutional law, parliamentary law and legislative drafting.

Your work will have a direct impact on the institution by helping clients navigate sensitive, high-profile, and often complex legal issues with clarity, sound judgment and discretion. You will draft legal opinions and other legal documents, conduct complex legal research, interpret legislation and jurisprudence, and contribute to practical legal solutions that support the work of Canada’s Parliament. If this sounds like you, we look forward to reviewing your application!
