  • Drafting any iterative changes to our template contracts necessitated by regulatory developments or new commercial or product requirements
  • Support Group Legal and Leadership on major strategic projects and legal initiatives
  • Liaising with external legal counsels where specialised local advice is needed
  • Stay ahead of regulatory changes and proactively drive action within the business
  • Performing pre-litigation work to minimize risks and maximize legal rights
  • Providing corporate secretarial support for strategic business activities

Key Requirements
