As a Legal Counsel, you will join an experienced, close-knit team that counsels across all aspects of TRM’s global, rapidly-growing business. The team provides timely, ethically-sound, and commercially-savvy advice on matters including corporate governance, contract negotiations, product counseling, and overall risk management.
