Former Nova Scotia premier Stephen McNeil, whose political career ended less than six weeks ago, has found a new job as a "strategic business adviser" at the Halifax law firm Cox & Palmer. McNeil said he was approached near the end of January, while he was still premier, about the possibility of joining the law firm. No law trainingAlthough McNeil has no formal law training, he thinks he can bring other skills to his new job. As premier, McNeil travelled to China eight times trying to promote stronger ties with the government there. "They do have some work in China," McNeil said of his new employer, but said that would not be his focus.
