OVERVIEW

We are seeking a senior disputes professional to support the coordination of a complex, high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional legal situation involving parallel pre-litigation actions and potential proceedings across several jurisdictions.

This role is intended for a highly experienced operator from a top-tier international law firm environment, capable of maintaining strategic alignment, factual consistency, and disciplined execution across multiple external counsel.

This is a high-impact, decision-focused role — not a full-time position and not an execution role.

⸻

1. Control of Factual Consistency (Critical Responsibility)

• Ensure strict consistency of facts across all legal notices, correspondence, and filings

• Prevent contradictions that could weaken proceedings in any jurisdiction

• Maintain and protect a single, coherent factual framework across all actions

1. Risk Identification and Mitigation

• Identify legal, procedural, and reputational risks across jurisdictions

• Prevent overreach, misalignment, or unnecessary exposure

• Ensure secondary jurisdictions do not negatively impact primary proceedings

⸻

1. Sequencing and Execution Control

• Guide the sequencing and timing of legal notices and potential filings

• Ensure actions are taken in a controlled and strategically coherent manner

• Support decision-making on escalation vs negotiation
