  • Prepare legal analysis, executive summaries, and risk assessments to support business decisions prior to contract signature.
  • Provide clear, commercially grounded legal advice on business opportunities and strategic initiatives.
  • Support contract management post‑signature, including interpreting signed agreements, preparing amendments or change documentation, and advising on contractual obligations.
