Position Overview:

Legal Counsel

A legal counsel is essentially an attorney of law who provides guidance, advice, and sometimes representation for their clients or employers – individuals, corporations, or organizations. Responsibilities that are taken on by a legal counsel can be anything from providing client representation on civil and criminal cases to leading a company’s or non-profit’s legal team along with aiding in compliance and litigation efforts. Legal counsel professionals have to have the characteristics and skills of any good lawyer – quick wits, a problem-solving mindset, good memory, and good communication skills. Of course, as attorneys, they are required to hold a diploma in Law.

Company Overview:

CyprusNet is, in their own words “a Vertical Portal Network” that contains information and resources about Cypriot businesses and Service Companies. They filter industries and services into Vortals, where consumer can easily locate the company that they would like to find information on. They are unique in actually running more than two hundred portals which all rely on easily memorable domain names. Working for this kind of firm may be draining, as everyone is tasked with monitoring companies all around the country, and either getting access or updating the information on the platform accordingly. With a dedicated and rewarding environment, this can be easily overcome though.
