Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts with customers, strategic partners, and vendors/suppliers across NOAM, EMEA and APAC.
Delivering legal and general commercial advice to key stakeholders across all Lightspeed departments.
Documenting legal know-how and delivering training to the wider Legal Team and business stakeholders.
Identifying and advising on legal risks and compliance issues relating to the structuring, development and marketing of new products or features.
