Key Responsibilities
- Review supplier, client and commercial agreements and highlight relevant contractual considerations.
- Support the preparation, negotiation and administration of contractual documentation.
- Track contractual obligations, renewal dates and other important legal milestones.
- Research legislation, regulatory guidance and case developments relevant to the business.
- Prepare concise legal notes and summaries for internal stakeholders.
- Assist departments with queries relating to contracts, policies and business procedures.
- Identify potential areas of contractual or regulatory exposure and escalate matters where appropriate.
- Maintain organised records of agreements, legal correspondence and related documentation.
- Contribute to the development and improvement of internal legal processes.
- Liaise with external solicitors and other professional advisers when specialist input is required.
