  • Work closely with project teams to ensure contracts are aligned with business objectives.
  • Develop and maintain standard contract templates for internal use.

Dispute & External Counsel Coordination

  • Coordinate with external counsel for disputes, arbitration, and litigation matters.
  • Support internal stakeholders in gathering evidence and preparing case materials.
  • Assist in creating strategies to prevent disputes and resolve them early.

Corporate Governance & Compliance

  • Support corporate secretarial work, shareholder resolutions, and regulatory filings.
  • Assist with implementing compliance policies for anti-bribery, sanctions, and ESG.
  • Participate in employee training sessions to build compliance culture.

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Liaise with regulators, government agencies, and project partners as needed.
  • Occasionally travel to West Africa and Laos to support negotiations and site visits.

Career Development

  • Work closely with executive leadership to grow into a future standalone legal counsel role.
  • Take ownership of legal projects progressively, with increasing autonomy.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 7–10 years PQE, qualified in a common law jurisdiction (dual qualification advantageous).
  • Strong commercial contracts experience, ideally in mining, infrastructure, or EPC sectors.
  • Demonstrated ability to draft, negotiate, and manage contracts independently.
  • Experience in disputes, regulatory compliance, and employment law preferred.
  • Highly motivated, resourceful, and willing to work with minimal supervision.
  • Willingness to travel internationally and grow into a leadership role.
