Responsibilities

The Legal Counsel will be drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements while ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

The incumbent will also manage legal disputes and contentious matters, coordinating litigation strategy and case management where necessary, while serving as the primary point of contact for external legal counsel.

In addition, the Legal Counsel will work collaboratively with cross-functional stakeholders to uphold corporate governance standards, strengthen internal legal processes and ensure adherence to organisational policies.
