  • Agreements: drafting, reviewing and negotiating legal documents such as funding agreements, leases, access agreements, services and consultancy agreements, confidentiality agreements, memoranda of understanding (MOUs), among others,
  • Dealing with subpoenas and assisting with right to information and privacy queries, and
  • Managing litigation involving the University.
