• Identifying legal and regulatory risks and providing practical, business-oriented advice to support strategic decision-making.
• Coordinating and managing external legal counsel and other advisors as required.
• Ensuring the Company remains compliant with all applicable laws, regulations, and corporate governance best practices.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of post-call experience in corporate, securities, and business law, gained at a leading law firm, publicly traded company, or a combination of both.

• Strong commercial judgment with the ability to balance legal risk and business objectives.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex legal issues into practical advice for executive management and business stakeholders.
