Posted 4 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are seeking a Canadian-qualified lawyer for a confidential, fixed-scope review of evidence concerning an online consumer-review and digital-marketing practice involving a software service and a third-party platform. The engagement is to assess potential Competition Act and deceptive-marketing issues, test evidentiary sufficiency, advise on precise and restrained wording, and—if supported by counsel’s professional judgment and separately approved by the client—prepare and formally transmit a concise complaint to the appropriate Canadian regulator. The retained record includes screenshots, chronology, integrity hashes, technical corroboration, and official-source citations. Only names needed for conflict clearance will be disclosed before engagement; substantive facts and evidence follow written clearance and engagement. Required background - Active Canadian law licence in good standing. - Material experience with Competition Act deceptive-marketing matters, advertising/marketing law, or Competition Bureau submissions and investigations. - Familiarity with online reviews, endorsements, incentives, software products, and digital platforms. Able to handle a confidential fixed-scope engagement and act as filing counsel if professionally appropriate. Requested deliverables - Short legal and evidentiary assessment identifying supported theories, limitations, and missing facts. - A regulator-ready complaint or cover submission with an exhibit list and restrained factual characterization. - Submission or formal transmission as counsel only if counsel concludes filing is warranted and the client approves the exact final filing in writing.
