• Review and manage additional corporate and commercial agreements, including NDAs, vendor agreements, subcontract agreements, purchase orders, leases, amendments, and related documents.

• Identify and communicate legal and financial risks within MSAs and other agreements, providing practical recommendations to executive leadership.

• Manage contract redlines, approval workflows, negotiation history, obligation tracking, renewals, and contract records.

• Partner with executive leadership and outside legal counsel on complex legal matters, material contract deviations, corporate governance, and risk mitigation strategies.

• Maintain business registrations, corporate records, licenses, compliance calendars, document retention programs, and audit readiness.

• Monitor applicable federal, state, local, customer, and industry regulatory requirements impacting corporate operations.

• Support insurance renewals, broker requests, certificates of insurance, contractual insurance requirements, and project-specific coverage reviews.

• Provide secondary support for operational compliance matters, including DOT requirements, drug and alcohol testing programs, background screenings, and contractor qualification documentation.

• Prepare legal risk summaries, executive reports, compliance updates, and recommendations to strengthen contract management and corporate compliance processes.

• Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school is required; state bar admission is not required.

• Minimum of two (2) years of corporate attorney or corporate legal experience, with a focus on commercial contracts, corporate legal matters, or risk management.

• Demonstrated experience reviewing, drafting, and negotiating Master Service Agreements (MSAs).

• Strong understanding of indemnification provisions, limitation of liability clauses, liability caps, and contractual risk allocation.

• Ability to identify material legal and financial exposures within complex commercial agreements and communicate recommendations effectively.
  
  

• Advanced commercial contract drafting, review, negotiation, and risk analysis, particularly involving MSAs.

• Strong understanding of indemnity provisions, liability limitations, insurance obligations, and contractual risk allocation.

• Corporate legal judgment with the ability to protect organizational interests while supporting business operations.
