Why this role matters

As Lucidya continues to scale, contracting and legal decision-making sit at the center of how we grow responsibly. Every customer agreement, vendor contract, and partnership carries both opportunity and risk - and how we manage that balance directly impacts revenue, reputation, and operational efficiency.

As a Legal Associate, you will own the day-to-day execution of commercial legal work, acting as the primary legal partner to Sales, Customer Success, HR, Marketing, and Procurement. This role is designed for a commercially minded legal professional who can operate independently within defined guardrails, while exercising sound judgment on when escalation to senior leadership or external counsel is required.

• Lead standard and mid-risk negotiations with customers and vendors, applying approved legal and commercial guardrails
• Identify non-standard, high-risk, or corporate-impacting clauses and escalate them appropriately for senior legal review and approval
• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve contract playbooks, fallback positions, and redline guidance to support Sales, Customer Success, and Procurement teams
• Support contract lifecycle management end-to-end, including version control, execution tracking, renewals, and monitoring of contractual obligations

2. Internal Legal Support & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the first point of legal contact for commercial and operational teams on contract-related matters

• Support the Marketing team with legal guidance related to campaigns, promotions, CRM usage, and advertising compliance
• Provide business-focused legal advice that balances risk awareness with operational realities and escalation frameworks

3. Regulatory, Data Protection & IP Support

• Advise on contractual data protection obligations and support the implementation of approved privacy, data processing, and security clauses
• Monitor relevant legal and regulatory developments that may affect Lucidya’s commercial and operational activities
• Support intellectual property protection efforts, licensing matters, and the use of third-party technologies and tools

4. Disputes & External Counsel Coordination

• Support dispute and claim management by assisting with documentation, evidence gathering, and internal coordination
• Liaise with external counsel under the direction of senior legal leadership, ensuring effective information flow and follow-up
• Assist with preliminary dispute resolution processes where applicable

5. Risk Management & Legal Enablement

• Proactively identify contractual and operational legal risks and recommend practical mitigation approaches
• Conduct legal research and prepare clear, well-structured internal guidance notes, summaries, and advisory materials
