    A typical day for an Employment Law & General Commercial Counsel could look like this:

    Informing the Company on the legal effects of its relationships with others, including staff where applicable, and advising the Company on the most effective legal structures and contracts to achieve its aims.

    Briefing the Company on its legal and regulatory requirements, and with relevant internal processes and governance.
