Tata Communications Limited is hiring an Assistant Manager (Corporate Legal) for its Mumbai location, aimed at mid-level corporate counsel (4–7 PQE) with strong commercial contracting skills and exposure to domestic/international legal environments.
Role overview
This position typically sits within the in-house legal/commercial contracting function, supporting business teams on customer and vendor contracts, procurement documentation, and risk review in a telecom/technology business environment. Since Tata Communications operates across jurisdictions and enterprise customers, the role generally involves advising on contract structures, liability allocation, compliance clauses, and negotiation strategy across multiple stakeholders.
Eligibility requirements
As per the job brief, applicants should have:
- LL.B. (or equivalent) with Bar admission in at least one jurisdiction.
- 4–7 years post-qualification experience in corporate, commercial and contract law.
- Exposure to domestic and international legal environments.
- Telecom/technology sector experience is preferred (not mandatory).
Likely responsibilities (what you’ll write in the article)
While the Mumbai posting’s LiveLaw snippet mainly lists eligibility, Tata Communications’ corporate legal roles (including its Assistant Manager corporate legal postings) commonly include:
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating routine commercial contracts (customer-facing and procurement/vendor).
- Preparing and vetting NDAs, Statements of Work (SOWs), customer order forms, purchase orders, and special terms/conditions.
- Reviewing tenders/RFPs to identify legal risks and propose mitigations.
- Supporting internal business/users on contract amendments, restructuring documentation, and standard templates/playbooks.
- Coordinating with cross-functional teams (sales, procurement, finance, compliance, operations) to close documentation on time.
Location and application
- Location: Mumbai.
- Application mode: Online through the “apply” link provided in the job post listing.
Because this is an in-house corporate legal role, a strong application usually highlights measurable contracting experience (deal volume, negotiation complexity, templates/playbooks built, types of clauses handled like limitation of liability, indemnities, DP/InfoSec, SLA/credits, termination), and any tech/telecom familiarity.
Quick checklist for applicants
- Confirm Bar enrolment and clearly mention it in the resume (with State Bar Council / jurisdiction).
- Show 4–7 PQE with contract-heavy work (MSAs, NDAs, SOWs, procurement terms, RFP review).
- Add any international exposure (cross-border contracts, foreign governing law, multi-jurisdiction vendor/customer deals).
