As legal counsel to a large corporation, I provide comprehensive legal guidance to ensure the legal compliance and ethical practice of all business operations.A significant portion of my role involves the development, execution, negotiation, and review of contracts and agreements spanning distribution, licensing, reselling, non-disclosure, and data protection. I also ensure that our work with clients in the healthcare, financial, educational, commercial, and insurance industries complies with those industries' complex and diverse regulatory standards.My guidance is critical to business development, as I support sales and marketing in their development of commercially competitive and appropriate pricing and services, and continually review these standards to succeed in a constantly evolving market. I am also instrumental in guiding and enforcing intellectual property agreements to effectively protect business assets.I collaborate with multiple division executives to regularly review and update policies, including Human Resources, Information Security, and Finance executives. My leadership also extends to regional operations, as I deliver training to regional employees in contract compliance, development, and termination procedures.Finally, my role in risk assessment and mitigation is critical to long-term business success. From developing a corporate risk matrix to identifying and resolving potential non-compliance issues spanning financial reporting, insurance, and contracts, I guide the Executive team with thorough assessment and sound legal opinion.
