Helping the General Counsel (and Senior Legal Counsel) on international expansion aspects of Engine. Managing multiple projects (often to tight deadlines) and supporting colleagues to ensure business and enterprise-wide initiatives are executed in a timely and accurate manner. Updating and maintaining Engine's legal precedent documents. Instructing and working with outside counsel where necessary on specialist and international matters.
