What are the most significant cases, projects and/or transactions that you and/or your legal team have recently been involved in?
Over the past year, my team has played a critical role in strengthening company’s governance, supporting strategic growth and mitigating risk.
In the past year, the team has been involved in several high impact transactions that have contributed meaningfully to the organisation’s growth and risk management strategy. Each of these transactions demanded strategic thinking, stakeholder collaboration and deep legal commercial understanding.
How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience?
In a crisis, my primary focus is to steady the organisation by injecting clarity, discipline and enabling a calm decision-making process. To achieve this, it is important that a clear and centralised communication is established across all functions. Once the stability returns, it is equally important to implement the learnings to establish stronger governance structures.
