Legal Services
Legal
Services provides a full range of legal
services to the entire organization, including
acting as general counsel to the organization;
providing legal advice and support in areas
such as conducting real estate, corporate/commercial
transactions and related negotiations;
providing legal counsel acting on the City's
behalf in litigation, by-law prosecutions
and administrative law matters; drafting
by-laws, contracts and agreements; and
providing training for staff.
The Legal Services Division provides most legal services
to the City. Outside counsel are generally hired only
when the type of legal service requires specialization
that is not available in-house, City lawyers are in
a conflict of interest position, or an unusual volume
of work exceeds in-house capacity.
