  • Draft agendas and minutes for parent board level and management committees
  • Advise on legal issues related to corporate law and corporate governance
  • Manage outside legal expense
  • Perform other related duties and ad hoc projects as required
  • Train and manage staff and new hires.

What you should have:

  • 10+ years experience at a top law firm, ideally with in-house experience (start up e-commerce experience a plus)
