Joann John

I am a Senior Legal Advisor holding a LLB and MBA. My career began in 1998 and has been focused on corporate law within the financial services industry.

My 25 years of experience has allowed me the opportunity of growth and development within corporate and commercial law together with skills in corporate strategy, planning and compliance. This has positioned me within the management sphere as a Senior Legal Advisor.

My legal experience encompasses the drafting and appraisal of contracts and court documents, as well as the provision of proactive legal advice and opinions on legal, regulatory and compliance related matters, whilst my experience in Strategy has influenced the support to executive management in the formulation of plans and hypotheses influencing both Group and individual business units.

• NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS •

I have enhanced my skills in negotiation, drafting and legal advice in various areas of law, regulatory, governance and corporate areas that assist business in achieving confidence in pursuing corporate strategy.

My leadership ability and constant desire to learn and grow in my profession has allowed me to view business as a whole and not only within the sphere of legal assistance.
