- Assist with legal risk assessments and recommend pragmatic mitigations aligned to business objectives
- Support dispute management, including early case assessment, document preparation, settlement discussions, and litigation oversight where applicable
- Contribute to compliance programs, internal controls, and policy development, including monitoring regulatory changes and advising on implementation
- Maintain accurate legal records, contract repositories, and matter documentation, ensuring confidentiality and appropriate information handling
- Partner with cross-functional teams (e.g., HR, Finance, Procurement, Sales, Operations) to improve legal processes and decision-making
- Support governance processes, including board and committee documentation where relevant
- Mentor junior colleagues and promote consistent professional standards and quality

- Experience: Typically 5–12+ years of progressive legal experience (in-house and/or private practice), aligned to mid–senior level scope
- Demonstrated capability in one or more areas such as commercial contracts, corporate governance, employment, regulatory, disputes, compliance, privacy, or legal operations
- Strong drafting, negotiation, stakeholder management, and risk-based judgement
- Familiarity with relevant tools and systems (where applicable), including document management, contract lifecycle management (CLM), matter management, e-billing, and Microsoft 365
