  • Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts with customers, strategic partners, and vendors/suppliers. 
  • Delivering legal and general commercial advice to key stakeholders across all Lightspeed departments.
  • Training colleagues and stakeholder groups on what to watch out for from a legal perspective.
