About the Team

You will join a dynamic global legal team working on a variety of legal issues across the entire company.  You will be required to leverage your expertise, good judgment, and strong business sense to assess and mitigate legal risk - balancing contract negotiation with providing clear, pragmatic advice across a wide range of matters.

You will be challenged to look at the big picture to find innovative ways and solutions to assist the business in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment. With the ability to understand not just what the law says, but also industry and enforcement trends, you'll help TWE see around corners to prepare for upcoming regulatory changes and influence how the business responds to those changes.
