    Commercial Contracts:

    Guide the team in reviewing and negotiating complex commercial agreements, including global strategic partnerships, major sales and procurement contracts, and technology licensing agreements.


    IP Strategy:

    Work closely with the technology team to develop and implement a global intellectual property strategy, managing patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.


    Dispute Resolution:
    Manage significant litigation, arbitration, and other dispute resolution proceedings.

    • Team Management and Strategic Collaboration
    Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing global legal team.

    Act as a key member of the executive team, actively participating in strategic decision-making and providing proactive legal and risk counsel.

    Collaborate closely with cross-functional departments (Finance, HR, Business Development, R&D) to support overall business objectives.
