- Provide timely and practical advice to internal stakeholders regarding contractual obligations, commitments, and commercial legal matters.
- Advise management and business stakeholders on complex client and partnership matters, including potential contractual, regulatory, compliance, financial, and legal risks.
- Communicate complex legal considerations clearly and concisely, adapting your approach to different stakeholders and audiences.
- Support the development and improvement of contracting processes, templates, playbooks, and procedures to increase operational efficiency.
- Qualified lawyer in a common law jurisdiction with at least 5 years of relevant legal experience, with strong experience in commercial contracts gained in-house and/or at a reputable law firm.
- Strong commercial contracting experience, including independently drafting, reviewing, structuring, and negotiating complex agreements.
- Strong business acumen with the ability to combine legal analysis with practical commercial judgment.
- Ability to independently manage multiple transactions and priorities in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision.
- Highly collaborative and solutions-oriented, with strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Ability to translate complex legal concepts and risks into clear, practical, and commercially relevant advice.
- Strong time management skills and the ability to deliver quality work under tight deadlines.
- Available to start as soon as possible and commit to a minimum 3-month contract.
