Advise on HR and employment matters, with increasing ownership of termination, severance, and compliance issues. Draft and review employment agreements, severance agreements, and releases. Develop experience reviewing and negotiating vendor and service contracts. Help manage contract workflows and support legal needs across operational and corporate teams.
