The role As in-house Legal Counsel, you will be supporting the FMG business at large and, under the supervision of the Senior Legal Counsel, this will include drafting, negotiating and advising on commercial agreements, distribution agreements, supplier contracts, tenders, engagement letters, NDAs and licences, as well as managing legal risk, ensuring FMG's risk and exposure to liability is minimised.
In addition, the Deputy Commercial Lawyer will provide direct support into the business in respect of ad-hoc legal advice.

You will have experience in drafting and negotiating contracts, knowledge of commercial transactions and the ability to look beyond the documentation and consider the wider business aspects involved.
