As Commercial Counsel, I drafted, reviewed and negotiated a broad range of commercial agreements, including those related to SaaS subscriptions, data processing and professional services, as well as order forms and statements of work, brand licenses and NDAs. I helped streamline contract management and template preparation, provided input on processes and policies to drive company growth, collected new business and legal insights and conduct training sessions for internal Sales team members on legal topics as necessary. I partnered cross-functionally with Sales, Sales Operations, Finance and Accounting, Privacy and Security to balance business objectives and legal risks, taking into account company policies and positions. I provided pragmatic, business-oriented advice, thought creatively to devise solutions to challenging problems and effectively drove issues to closure.
