About this task

This Clinical-stage biotech in neuroscience (5,000+ employees) is looking for a director Fractional General Counsel for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Checks the main policies and obligations.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It works in life sciences, where documents are versioned and reviewed in a fixed order.

The team sits in Mönchengladbach. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (CET).

  • The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed
  • A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

How the work runs

  • Days 2 to 8: the work, with questions answered the same day
  • Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough
