What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters legal innovation, offers growth opportunities, and values compliance.

I am a Global Law Specialist with six years of comprehensive legal expertise in corporate law, dispute resolution, employment law, and business transactions across various industries and jurisdictions. Currently, I serve as a Global Law Specialist at Native Teams, where I specialize in global employment and commercial law issues. My extensive experience includes litigation strategy, corporate governance, contract negotiation, and regulatory compliance, allowing me to provide expert legal advice and guidance on complex legal matters.

In my current role, I lead end-to-end legal operations for cross-border employment and payroll solutions, advising clients on jurisdiction-specific labor laws and tax obligations across Europe, APAC, and the MENA region. I excel in drafting and localizing employment contracts and commercial agreements, ensuring compliance with evolving labor laws and tax regimes. My proactive approach to legal risk management has enabled me to develop effective legal strategies that support scalable EOR infrastructure and facilitate seamless global hiring.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to continuous learning and adaptation in the fast-paced legal landscape. I have successfully negotiated complex SaaS agreements and collaborated with cross-functional teams to translate complex regulations into actionable frameworks. My passion for legal innovation and compliance has positioned me as a trusted advisor in the intersection of global employment law and commercial contracting.
