Nov 2013 - Sep 2023 • 9 yrs 10 mos

As Legal Advisor at Genius Roof Solutions, I provided comprehensive legal support for the company's commercial, contractual, and operational activities within the construction industry. I worked with senior management to structure transactions, address legal challenges, and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements governing construction and business operations. My responsibilities included advising on contract formation, procurement matters, contractor and supplier relationships, project documentation, commercial negotiations, and corporate compliance. I prepared and negotiated construction agreements, procurement contracts, vendor agreements, confidentiality agreements, and other legal instruments essential to project delivery and business operations. I conducted legal research on construction legislation, commercial law, employment regulations, licensing requirements, insurance matters, and dispute resolution procedures. I prepared legal memoranda, compliance reviews, and advisory opinions to assist management in evaluating legal risks and implementing sound business strategies. I also provided legal guidance on claims management, breach of contract issues, payment recovery, project-related disputes, and regulatory investigations. By identifying legal exposures at an early stage, I developed preventative strategies that minimized liability and protected the company's commercial interests. Key achievements included optimizing contractual compliance, strengthening procurement and contract governance, reducing litigation risks through proactive legal advice, improving regulatory adherence, supporting successful commercial negotiations, and enhancing legal processes that contributed to efficient project execution and sustainable business growth.
