• Instruct and manage external counsel, and turn legal advice into practical business recommendations
• Strengthen case governance, escalation routes and ER reporting across the region

Key experience

• Practical, multi-country European experience, working effectively with local counsel
• Hands-on works council or collective consultation experience
• A track record in M&A integration or organisational change with ER impact
