• Support public-company readiness initiatives, including developing processes and frameworks required to meet current and future SEC reporting and disclosure obligations.
• Manage external legal counsel supporting Capital Markets and Finance matters, ensuring timely, high-quality, commercially appropriate, and cost-effective advice.
• Monitor legal, regulatory, and market developments that may affect the business and proactively identify emerging risks and opportunities.
• Support corporate governance activities, including board and committee meeting preparation, corporate resolutions, and related documentation.
• Help build scalable legal and compliance processes that can evolve alongside a growing organization and potential transition toward public-company status.
