Your career is ready for a change

• Be responsible for the agency's legal function and lead a team of 2 lawyers: distribute tasks and workload, provide feedback, foster specialist independence.

• Oversee the corporate block: founding documents, amendments, registrations, powers of attorney, and orders. If necessary, represent the company in tax authorities, courts, FAS, and other bodies.
• Stay abreast of legislation: assess the impact of changes on the business, integrate them into processes, and enhance colleagues' legal literacy through training and understandable materials.
