• Conduct legal research, apply findings to operational facts, and deliver clear, actionable guidance to leadership and other stakeholders.
• Manage diverse legal projects, oversee contract workflows, maintain legal databases, and assist with internal compliance, including on intellectual property, data privacy, and regulatory matters.
• Support incident management and dispute resolution efforts along with our litigation specialists and coordinating stakeholder responses. 
• Prepare and update internal templates, legal guides, and documents and participate in preparing and delivering training, memorandums, and presentations to employees, or other members of the Legal Department on legal matters.
