You will work as part of the Concord project delivery team and attend regular meetings to update on progress.

        The litigation log management project which involves: reviewing existing case files and documents to extract relevant information and transferring data to a comprehensive litigation log.

        Maintaining and updating the contract precedents library as well as maintaining, updating, tracking and monitoring of consumer facing terms and conditions.
