Job description

At KSI Law, Kreditor Services is our division dedicated to legal recoveries and enforcement solutions for creditors across Canada. Our mission is to deliver exceptional results by streamlining the legal recovery process through innovation, compliance, and strategic litigation.

We are committed to setting the national standard for creditors' rights, offering efficient, accountable, and client-focused solutions that drive performance and protect financial interests.

The Senior Legal Resolutions Officer is the most senior non‑management role in Kreditor Services, carrying legal collections criteria and responsibilities while working active legal files in partnership with the paralegal in carriage of the portfolio. This role holds portfolio-specific access to the litigation desk and direct access to the licensee to remediate active legal files. Working within balance ranges ($2,000 and above), with additional client‑specific legal desk access to continue the remediation process, the Senior Legal Resolutions Officer negotiates complex settlements and settlement terms, conducts pre‑legal vetting and legal‑stage remediation, and completes asset and employment verification in support of legal enforcement.

This role requires a working knowledge of the legal process and procedures, and strict adherence to KSI Law's compliant, procedural, and ethical standards within this scope. Senior Legal Resolutions Officers support the litigation and enforcement process, working with the licensee in carriage of each portfolio.
