The ideal candidate will act as a key business partner—balancing legal risk, regulatory compliance, and commercial growth objectives across regional and international operations.

Key Responsibilities:

Legal Advisory & Commercial Contracts

- Deliver clear, practical legal advice to senior management and cross-functional teams across procurement, operations, finance, HR, and commercial divisions.

- Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of contracts, including distribution, franchise, licensing, joint ventures, procurement, and service-level agreements.

- Lead contract lifecycle management, ensuring templates are standardized and risk-mitigated.

- Support M&A, JV, and restructuring projects, including due diligence, documentation, and deal structuring.

Litigation, Arbitration & Dispute Resolution

- Manage external counsel and lead dispute resolution strategy across civil, commercial, labor, and arbitration matters.

- Monitor active litigation cases, ensuring alignment with business goals and financial implications.

- Advise internal stakeholders on settlement strategy, risk exposure, and legal recourse options.

Governance, Compliance & Regulatory Affairs

- Ensure compliance with local and regional laws (UAE, GCC), covering corporate, food safety, data privacy, labor law, and ESG-related regulations.

- Review and improve internal policies, SOPs, and compliance frameworks to reduce legal and reputational risks.

- Act as the main legal interface for regulatory authorities and government entities.

- Support internal audits and ensure readiness for external regulatory inspections.

Strategic Legal Partnering

- Embed legal risk assessments in commercial decision-making.

- Participate in executive-level discussions around new projects, expansions, partnerships, and technology rollouts.

- Stay ahead of emerging legal trends, especially in areas like ESG, cross-border trade, data governance, and competition law.

- Experience: 4–8 years of post-qualification experience.

- Minimum 3 years in the GCC; at least 1 year in the UAE.

- Proven experience in an FMCG, manufacturing, or industrial environment.

- Strong background in both in-house and law firm settings is advantageous.

- Languages: Bilingual proficiency in Arabic and English (mandatory – legal drafting & negotiation).

Skills:

- Mastery of UAE/GCC corporate, commercial, and regulatory law.

- Strong drafting, negotiation, and communication skills.

- High integrity, with business-first legal judgment and commercial acumen.
