  • Drafting and negotiating a wide variety of commercial agreements.
  • Monitoring legal and regulatory developments relevant to the business and advising stakeholders accordingly.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to join a leading investment and development group in a high-impact legal role.
  • Fast-tracked career progression and hands-on mentoring from senior leaders.
