Risk Management:

Proven Negotiator:

Excellent Communicator:
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex legal issues and effectively influence both legal and non-legal stakeholders across all levels of the business.
Commercially Minded:
Strong commercial judgment and a pragmatic approach to balancing legal risk with business needs in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Urgent and Detail-Oriented:
Operates with a strong sense of urgency while maintaining exceptional attention to detail and delivering high-quality work product.
Privacy Law Expertise:
Deep understanding of data privacy regulations including CCPA and GDPR, with hands-on experience drafting and negotiating Data Protection Addendums (DPAs) and related provisions.
Business-Driven Legal Partner:
