Aug 2012 - Dec 2022 • 10 yrs 4 mos

As Legal Advisor at Genius Roof Solutions, I was responsible for delivering legal support across construction projects, commercial operations, procurement, and regulatory compliance. I partnered with company leadership to evaluate legal implications of business decisions, strengthen contractual relationships, and ensure adherence to applicable construction, employment, and commercial laws. I managed the preparation and legal review of construction contracts, subcontractor agreements, supplier contracts, purchase orders, service agreements, warranty documents, and settlement agreements. By identifying contractual inconsistencies and negotiating key provisions, I helped safeguard the company's financial and legal interests throughout project execution. I advised on construction claims, contract administration, licensing requirements, workplace compliance, insurance obligations, payment disputes, and regulatory matters. My responsibilities also included interpreting statutory requirements, monitoring legal developments affecting the construction industry, and providing practical legal solutions for operational challenges. Working alongside project managers and executives, I assessed legal exposure associated with ongoing projects, investigated contractual disputes, and recommended strategies to resolve issues efficiently while minimizing business disruption. I also assisted in developing internal compliance procedures and document management systems to strengthen governance and improve operational accountability. Major accomplishments included improving contract administration practices, reducing legal and commercial risks, enhancing regulatory compliance, supporting successful contract negotiations, streamlining legal documentation processes, and establishing stronger risk management controls that protected company assets and contributed to the successful delivery of construction projects.
