Job Description for Board Legal Officer 

Function: 

The MSF Canada Legal Officer is a voluntary officer position on the Board of Directors. 
The Legal Officer can be an elected director, or can be appointed co-opted for terms 
which are not to exceed one year but which can be renewed annually. The position is 
not mandated by the MSF Canada bylaws, but rather is filled at the discretion of the 
Board. 

The role of the Legal Officer is to assist the Board with legal questions that arise, to 
support the proper functioning of the Board, and contribute a perspective rooted in 
experience of legal practice. The legal officer is expected to contribute to Board 
discussions broadly and not to be confined to issues requiring legal expertise. However, 
when asked for guidance regarding matters of procedure, the legal officer is expected to 
provide a fair and objective opinion maintaining detachment from the legal officer’s views 
on the substance of the matter under discussion. The position is essentially an advisory 
role and does not entail formal legal representation of the Board or the organization. The 
Legal Officer is ordinarily expected to serve on the Governance Committee. 

Duties: 

 • Assists the Board in the performance of its oversight role to ensure legal 
compliance by MSF Canada 

 • Remains watchful for possible legal issues affecting the Board or MSF Canada 
and identifies any concerns to the Board or the appropriate individuals 

 • Assists new Board members with orientation to their role and responsibilities and 
helps the Board to function in the model of an effective governance Board 

 • Provides guidance to the Board on procedural matters including proper conduct of 
Board meetings 

 • If requested, provides guidance to the Association membership on procedural 
matters arising at the AG or other meetings of the members and on proper conduct 
of meetings

 • Subject to any professional constraints, addresses legal questions or problems 
that arise from the Board, Board subcommittees, the Executive Director and (with 
the approval of the Executive Director) members of the management team 

 • Assists MSF Canada in respect of involvement of external counsel, if requested, 
including: assessing when it would be appropriate to retain external counsel, 
selecting and formally retaining external counsel; and liaising with counsel. 

 • Supports the FICTA department regarding legal document retention and other 
administrative functions with a legal aspect 

 • Supports the President, the Executive Director, and the Executive Committee as 
requested on legally sensitive matters 

 • Contributes a legal perspective to Board deliberations, particularly given that most 
Board members tend to be elected for their medical qualifications and field 
experience 

Requirements: 

 • May not be actively involved in or employed by the executive of any MSF section 

 • Must actively participate in MSF Canada Board meetings (typically 4 face-to-face 
meetings per year plus 8 video conference meetings per year) 

Qualifications: 

 • Lawyer licensed in Canada with five or more years of experience in legal practice 

 • Knowledgeable about the workings of Canadian charities or other not-for-profit 
organizations, including reporting and compliance requirements and practice and 
procedure relating to governance 

 • Demonstrated interest in humanitarian affairs 

 • Ability to challenge and bring new perspectives to executives and Board

d’exprimer ses propres opinions quant au fond du sujet discuté. Cette fonction revêt 
essentiellement un caractère consultatif et n'implique aucune représentation juridique

générale et des membres de l'Équipe de direction (avec l'approbation de la 
Direction générale).

juridique externe, notamment pour : évaluer les situations où le recours à une 
assistance externe serait adapté, sélectionner et retenir formellement cette 
assistance, et assurer la liaison avec celle-ci. 

 • Soutenir le service des Finances, de l’Informatique et de l’Administration pour la 
conservation des documents juridiques et d'autres fonctions administratives 
ayant un aspect juridique. 

 • En cas de besoin, apporter son soutien aux personnes à la Présidence de 
l’organisation, à la Direction générale et siégeant au Comité exécutif pour toute 
question juridique particulière. 

 • Apporter un éclairage juridique lors des délibérations du CA, d’autant plus que la 
majorité des membres sont généralement élus pour leurs compétences 
médicales et leur expérience de terrain.

 • Ne pas faire partie de l’équipe de direction de l'un des bureaux de MSF, et ne pas 

avoir de contrat de travail avec l’un d’entre eux
