  • Draft and negotiation contract types varying from SaaS platform contracts to white label agreements, managing different partnership models of various types, NDA’s, etc. and managing negotiations in multiple jurisdictions
  • Actively support and enable Monta’s project teams before, during, and after contract execution.
    

• Legal Advisory
  • Provide comprehensive advice to leadership and business teams on a variety of legal topics, including contract law, IT law, competition law, GDPR, NIS2, energy law and other strategically relevant legislation applicable to our segments.
  • Advise on HR-related legal matters and support internal teams in addressing sensitive issues that require confidentiality.
  • Be a trusted advisor to the organization in general.
    

• Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management
  • Ensure compliance with international regulations, including AFIR, GDPR, competition law, and emerging frameworks.
  • Assist in the resolution of technical incidents by advising on risks, managing stakeholders, and reporting as necessary to authorities
  • Identify potential legal risks and propose mitigation strategies.

• Corporate Governance & Warrant Program
  • Assist in the administration of our global warrant / stock option program.
  • Ad hoc assistance with corporate legal matters, including as we engage in M&A and fundraising in the future.

• Internal Enablement and Training
  • Conduct training sessions for Monta’s teams on key legal topics such as contract negotiation, data protection, and compliance best practices.
  • Enable the organization to perform by taking an active role in creating and improving our internal standards, practices and guidelines.
