You’ll have genuine ownership and exposure across a broad range of commercial legal activity, including:
- Drafting and supporting the negotiation of licensing and content distribution agreements.
- Preparing term sheets, amendments, extensions, sale & purchase agreements, notices and NDAs.
- Creating and maintaining deal summaries and supporting contract reviews.
- Responding to day-to-day commercial and legal queries from the business.
- Conducting commercial legal research and supporting strategic legal projects.
- Working closely with sales, finance, legal and other business teams, as well as external clients and counterparties.
- Using and engaging with legal technology, digital tools and modern contract-management processes to support efficient legal delivery.
- Managing multiple priorities and deadlines in a genuinely international, fast-paced environment.
- Participating in team meetings, training and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
