Our mission is to protect people, the environment, and industrial equipment, making a tangible impact across industries like renewable energy, semiconductor manufacturing, power generation, and water treatment. As a purpose-driven company, we foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and integrity, ensuring that every project we undertake creates lasting positive change. At CECO, you&rsquo;ll be part of a growing, dynamic team committed to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future.</div><div></div><div><br>
We are proud to share that CECO was named one of Newsweek&rsquo;s America&rsquo;s Greatest Companies for 2025 and that Forbes recognized CECO as one of America&rsquo;s Most Successful Small‑Cap Companies for 2026, marking our third consecutive year on the Forbes list. CECO Environmental is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ under the ticker CECO, reflecting our strong growth, financial performance, and commitment to delivering value to shareholders.</div><div></div><div><br>
CECO Environmental Corp. is seeking a Part-time experienced litigation attorney to serve as Litigation Counsel, responsible for managing litigation and dispute matters enterprise-wide. This role focuses on independent oversight of litigation strategy, pre-litigation risk assessment, outside counsel management, litigation holds, and cost control, while serving as a clear, trusted advisor to the General Counsel, business leaders, and members of the legal team. Litigation Counsel will provide practical, concise, and timely advice; maintain enterprise-level visibility into litigation risk; and ensure consistent, disciplined management of disputes in alignment with CECO&rsquo;s risk tolerance, values, and outside counsel guidelines. This position will initially be structured as a half-time (0.5 FTE) role, with responsibility scoped to allow effective independent management of assigned matters</div><div></div><div><br>
This role is expected to provide active, hands-on litigation management, not passive oversight, with an eye toward early, cost-effective resolutions rather than simply handing matters to outside counsel. Litigation Counsel will work closely with General Counsel, who has managed CECO&rsquo;s litigation since 2020, to assume responsibility for and execute day-to-day ownership of litigation matters, drive strategy, and ensure disciplined execution across the enterprise. Success in this role requires independent judgment, clear and succinct communication, and a proactive, detail-oriented approach to managing outside counsel and litigation risk.</div><div><b><br>
Your Responsibilities Will Be:</b></div><p></p><div><br>
Enterprise Litigation Management</div><ul><li>
Manage CECO&rsquo;s litigation and dispute portfolio enterprise-wide, including commercial, employment, product, regulatory, and other claims.</li><li>
Independently assess litigation and pre-litigation matters and provide strategic recommendations regarding case handling, escalation, resolution, or defense.</li><li>
Maintain clear, current visibility into litigation status, trends, and risk exposure across the enterprise.</li></ul><div>
 Pre-Litigation Advisory &amp; Business Counseling</div><ul><li>
Provide direct, practical legal advice in the pre-litigation stage, including risk assessment, preservation obligations, early resolution strategies, and coordination with insurers.</li><li>
Serve as a legal advisor and collaborator to business-facing attorneys and directly to business leaders, as appropriate, on dispute-related issues.</li><li>
Support informed decision-making by distilling complex litigation issues into clear, succinct guidance tied to business impact.</li></ul><p></p><div><br>
Outside Counsel Management
</div><ul><li>Actively and assertively manage outside litigation counsel across all litigation matters, including close oversight of strategy, staffing, work product, budgets, and timelines, again with an eye toward cost-effective, early resolutions in lieu of simply proceeding through the standard steps of litigation.</li><li>
This role requires hands-on, detail-driven management of outside counsel to ensure alignment with CECO&rsquo;s strategy, expectations, and cost discipline.</li><li>
Review, direct, and challenge outside counsel recommendations as necessary to ensure efficient, effective representation and avoidance of unnecessary cost or risk.</li><li>
Review and approve all litigation invoices to ensure strict compliance with CECO&rsquo;s outside counsel guidelines and any matter-specific direction provided.</li><li>
Oversee national coordinating counsel supporting CECO&rsquo;s asbestos docket, ensuring consistency of strategy, disciplined cost management, and alignment across jurisdictions.</li><li>
