  • Managing and resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, litigation, and/or arbitration.
  • Supporting contract administration, including reviewing/drafting letters and advising project teams on issues such as contract interpretation, contractual claims, delays and variations throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Acting as a proactive business partner to deliver solutions-oriented legal support in a fast-paced environment.
Qualifications

  • Relevant experience (5–12 years' PQE) in a law firm or corporate environment handling complex, high-value, or cross-border matters, preferably with regional or international exposure.

  • Excellent drafting and negotiation skills, with a practical, solutions-driven mindset.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively under tight timelines.
  • Strong business acumen; experience with e-commerce or digital business models would be an advantage.
  • Resilient, energetic, and committed to excellence, with a "can-do" mindset.
