This role is ideal for a motivated professional with a solid understanding of applicable legislation, strong attention to detail, and a desire to grow in the areas of corporate, commercial, and employment law. The Junior Legal Counsel will work closely with senior legal professionals, department managers, and external partners, contributing to the preparation, review, and administration of legal documents, contracts, opinions, and internal policies.
In this position, you will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in analyzing legal acts, monitoring legislative changes, and assessing legal risks related to the company’s activities. You will support contracting processes with clients, vendors, and business partners, ensuring legality, protection of the organization’s interests, and alignment with internal procedures.
