Corporate Paralegal

Solar Provider Group (SPG) develops large-scale solar projects across North America and Europe. We identify suitable sites, secure land agreements, and manage permitting and regulatory approvals to bring projects to the point of construction. By working closely with landowners, communities, and industry partners, we ensure projects are well-positioned for success. With a deep understanding of market dynamics and regulatory frameworks in each region, our team navigates the complexities of solar development to create viable, bankable projects that support the expansion of renewable energy.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a corporate-focused paralegal with strong experience in both Canadian and U.S. corporate law, and exposure to real estate transactions. The successful candidate will work closely with the Legal and Real Estate teams to support entity formation and maintenance, corporate governance, project transactions, and the legal aspects of solar project development.

The role involves hands-on support with entity formation, minute book maintenance, project transaction closings, and corporate structuring in both jurisdictions. It reports directly to the General Counsel, and requires someone comfortable taking ownership of their work, communicating effectively across departments, and navigating a fast-paced, evolving environment.

This is a hybrid role based in our Liberty Village office in Toronto, or a fully remote position for candidates located in the U.S. Preference will be given to Toronto-based candidates with both Canadian and U.S. corporate experience.

We’re looking for someone who is solutions-oriented, detail-focused, and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders.

• Conduct legal research related to corporate governance, compliance, and renewable energy regulations.
