WHAT WE NEED

Reporting to the General Counsel, the Associate General Counsel will assist in directing the contracting process, including the drafting and negotiation of all agreements between Allvue and its clients, vendors and partners. The Associate General Counsel will also assist in legal compliance (including GDPR and CCPA), assess risks across a variety of areas by assisting in disputes, litigation and insurance issues and be involved in a wide variety of activities that help drive business growth and improve the operations and maturity of the Legal function and other business departments.

Principally, the legal department negotiates and manages the company’s contracts, in some cases multimillion dollar deals; leads compliance, regulatory, and governance matters; and manages risk. Given the nature of Allvue’s business, the legal department is involved in almost every aspect of the company’s business, including corporate strategy, product development, brand and marketing strategy, and employment matters. The Associate General Counsel will support all of these activities and -- in so doing -- will collaborate extensively with colleagues across multiple business departments and product lines, including at the executive level.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Negotiate client, vendor and partner contracts
• Work cross-functionally with sales, finance, and operations teams to ensure that contractual terms are compliant with legal, regulatory, and company policies and risk preferences
• Review and analyze complex business issues to provide recommendations to senior management
• Assist in developing and implementing company policy and procedure documents

In sum, this position offers the opportunity for a talented and motivated attorney to touch every facet of Allvue’s business that has a legal nexus and to help the Legal department achieve best-in-class status. The General Counsel has spent years in private practice and in-house and is committed to supporting the personal and professional development of the person who will occupy this role and running a professional and service-focused department.
