• Collaborate with global legal teams to align on cross‑border legal matters and projects.
• Support legal proceedings and manage external counsel as needed.
• Deliver legal training, guidance, and reference materials to non‑legal colleagues.
• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements and other legal documents (excluding M&A).
