You will provide local expertise in support of the design, implementation and rollout of D&B’s standard commercial contracting forms and processes, including product terms, playbooks, contracting principles and approval/signing authority structures. You will provide strategic legal advice on commercial requirements in product development, and will also be active in contributing to improving processes, updating templates, reviewing governance structures and generally ensuring that the D&B business is effectively supported. You provide commercial legal advice and support on claims and litigation in the Nordic Region, in coordination with our global Litigation & Labor and Employment team.
