## Responsibilities - Lead all legal aspects of retail leasing, including lease negotiations, leave and licence agreements, lease renewals, terminations, lock-in periods, security deposits, rentals, common area maintenance (CAM) charges, and other property-related matters. - Oversee the legal management of a large portfolio of leased outlets, ensuring contractual protections, timely renewals, risk mitigation, and compliance with lease obligations. - Draft, review, negotiate, and manage commercial agreements such as vendor contracts, service agreements, procurement contracts, franchise agreements, and other critical business arrangements. - Manage corporate legal matters including board and shareholder documentation, corporate governance, statutory filings, and coordination with external counsel and advisors. - Oversee regulatory and statutory compliance across operations, including food and hospitality regulations, labor laws, local licenses, registrations, and other business-specific requirements. - Manage litigation portfolios, contractual disputes, landlord-related disputes, consumer claims, and other legal proceedings, collaborating with external law firms as necessary. - Identify and mitigate legal and commercial risks across business operations, develop legal safeguards, and advise senior management on significant legal exposures. - Partner with leadership, finance, operations, procurement, business development, and expansion teams to provide commercially pragmatic legal advice that supports business growth. - Support new store expansion by conducting legal due diligence on prospective locations, reviewing property documentation, evaluating lease risks, and ensuring legal readiness for outlet launches. - Establish standardized legal templates, approval mechanisms, contract management processes, and internal controls to enhance efficiency and consistency. - Appoint and manage external legal advisors, monitor litigation and advisory costs, and ensure effective resolution of legal matters. - Own the overall legal charter, set priorities for the legal function, and collaborate closely with senior leadership to balance legal risk with business objectives.

## Qualifications - Extensive experience (15+ years) in legal roles within retail, quick service restaurants (QSR), restaurants, hospitality, consumer sectors, or multi-location businesses. - Strong expertise in retail leasing, property law, and managing large lease portfolios. - Proficient in commercial contracting, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance. - Skilled in dispute resolution, litigation management, and risk mitigation. - Ability to provide strategic legal advice aligned with business objectives. - Excellent negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills. - Educational qualifications typically include a law degree (LLB or equivalent); advanced legal qualifications or certifications are advantageous.

## Preferred Skills - Experience working with multi-location consumer-facing organizations. - Familiarity with food and hospitality industry regulations. - Proven ability to manage external counsel and legal budgets effectively. - Strong leadership capabilities with experience in managing legal teams. - Expertise in developing and implementing legal processes and templates.

## Experience - Minimum of 15 years of relevant legal experience. - Demonstrated experience managing legal matters for businesses with large physical footprints, especially involving leased properties and retail or restaurant expansion.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
