The Senior Counsel (SC) is a self-motivated, confident lawyer who supports the General Counsel (GC) in safeguarding the Company’s legal interests. This role involves identifying legal risks and opportunities, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and contracts, and managing various aspects of the legal
department’s operations.
The SC is responsible for independently assessing legal needs and, with the GC’s approval, developing and executing strategies to address them. Acting as a project lead, the SC coordinates cross-functional input to minimize legal exposure and strengthen the Company’s legal position.
Key responsibilities include conducting legal research and advising senior decision-makers, engaging with external stakeholders such as regulatory agencies, and managing litigation matters—including interactions with opposing counsel, participation in mediations, arbitrations, deposition preparation, and
handling discovery processes such as discovery responses.
The SC will oversee the work of outside counsel on assigned matters. The role requires the ability to provide sound legal guidance across all levels of the organization, creatively evaluate business strategies, and advise when legal risks warrant reconsideration or cessation of a proposed action. The
SC must be able to multi-task and remain calm when dealing with multiple demands.
Additional duties include drafting and reviewing key legal documents and contracts (e.g., leases, software licenses, consulting agreements, purchase and sales contracts, insurance policies), delivering clear legal recommendations, and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
