  • The ability to work autonomously in a remote business environment with a strong work ethic.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, practical, and commercial advice for non-legal stakeholders.
  • A proactive, commercial, and pragmatic approach to risk management and problem-solving.
