  5. Draft, review and negotiate contracts, agreements, and other legal documents maximising the commercial opportunities of the business and minimising corporate risk and exposure.
  6. Interpret laws, and where necessary communicate and advise on their impact to the business.
  7. Provide expert analysis on complex legal issues, using a proactive approach to highlight areas of improvement.
  8. Evaluate legal risk factors regarding business decisions and Workdry Group operations.
  9. Draft and review legal policies and procedures, contribute to internal governance policies and regularly monitor the businesses compliance with these.
  10. Proactively seek out and work with stakeholders to identify areas of business operations where value can be added through expert legal guidance and support.

  3. Strong knowledge of UK laws and regulations, particularly in the areas of contracts, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance. Knowledge of EU and international laws and regulations would be beneficial, but not essential.
  4. Good commercial and legal judgement.
  5. Ability to couple expert legal knowledge with practical business acumen.
  6. Understanding of the contractual framework surrounding projects within the UK utilities market preferred but not essential, including experience of agreements based on industry standards.
  7. A broad base of generalist commercial experience and knowledge.
  8. Demonstrated ability to create legal defensive or proactive strategies.
  9. Experience of managing outside counsel and overseeing litigation matters.
  10. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  11. Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines.
  12. Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to convey complex legal information in a way that stakeholders, internal and external, understand.
