Commercial Lawyer

Senior qualified lawyer

Is the lead legal partner for a business unit, category or market: structures, drafts and negotiates the commercial agreements that move the business (customers, distributors, sponsorships, agencies, licensing, suppliers), clears advertising, claims and promotions, handles competitor disputes and commercial litigation, advises on competition, regulatory and brand-protection matters, coordinates specialist colleagues and outside counsel, and trains the business. Success is judged on commercial decisions shaped early with risk understood, deals closed on time on defensible terms, campaigns and disputes managed without regulatory or reputational damage, and a business that brings its questions to legal before, not after.
