Litigation & Dispute Resolution: Lead and manage any disputes or litigation involving the business, liaising with external legal counsel as necessary.
Regulatory Compliance: Advise on and ensure compliance with relevant laws, including consumer law, employment law, privacy regulations, and franchising legislation.
Risk Management: Identify potential legal risks and provide strategic advice to mitigate these risks, including through training and awareness programs.
Internal Stakeholder Engagement: Work closely with the senior leadership team, finance team, and other departments to provide proactive legal support for business decisions and initiatives.
Demonstrate commitment to living our Collective Wellness Group principles (Own It, See It, Feel It, Do It, Together) and Purpose to Inspire Healthier Lives.
Other projects and responsibilities as assigned by the CFO and SLT.
