Corporate Legal Consultant / Attorney

Job Overview

Uvation is seeking a Corporate Legal Consultant / Attorney to manage legal advisory, compliance, and contractual matters across its Dubai (UAE) and European operations. This role supports a multi-entity AI GPU infrastructure business operating across jurisdictions with differing regulatory, employment, and corporate governance requirements. The ideal candidate is dual-qualified or has demonstrated working knowledge of both UAE (DIFC/mainland/free zone) and at least one major European jurisdiction's corporate and commercial law.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts — vendor agreements, client MSAs/SOWs, NDAs, partnership and reseller agreements

• Advise on corporate structuring and governance across Uvation's multi-entity setup (UAE free zone, European entity/entities)

• Manage regulatory compliance across jurisdictions, including data protection (GDPR for Europe, UAE data protection law), employment law, and sector-specific compliance relevant to infrastructure/technology services

• Support contractor and employment agreements in coordination with HR — including cross-border contractor arrangements and worker classification risk (e.g., independent contractor vs. employee tests under EU/UAE law)

• Advise on and manage vendor/supplier disputes, invoice discrepancies, and contractual escalations

• Support fundraising, investment, or M&A-related legal work as required

• Liaise with external counsel in jurisdictions where local representation is required

• Maintain corporate records, board resolutions, and statutory filings across entities

• Flag legal and regulatory risk proactively to leadership before it becomes a liability

• Required Qualifications

• Law degree and active bar admission/license in UAE and/or a European jurisdiction.

• Minimum 5–8 years years of corporate/commercial legal experience, ideally in-house or with a corporate law firm serving technology/infrastructure clients

• Demonstrated experience with cross-border contracts and multi-jurisdictional compliance

• Working knowledge of GDPR and UAE data protection frameworks

• Experience advising on contractor vs. employee classification issues across jurisdictions

• Preferred

• Prior experience in technology, cloud infrastructure, or AI/GPU-related industries

• Experience working with Deel or similar EOR/contractor management platforms

• What We're Looking For

• Someone comfortable operating with significant autonomy across jurisdictions with limited local precedent, who flags risk early and in plain language rather than after the fact.
