Global brewer Molson Coors is searching for a UK and Ireland director of legal and corporate affairs, after promoting current legal chief Anita Adam to director of legal and corporate affairs for export.
Adam, who features in this year’s Hot 100 thanks to her work on strategic deals to substantially grow her company, was promoted last month to be in charge of a team of four lawyers who manage legal and corporate affairs.
Her role, which was created for her by Molson Coors, will involve a wider remit and will focus on strategic international deals for the global business, managing international contracts in east Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
Adam was head of legal at Molson Coors for more than four years, having joined from the Forensic Science Service in 2012, where she was senior legal counsel. Prior to that, she was a senior associate at legacy Wragge & Co.
Under Adam’s watch, Molson Coors reviewed its UK and Ireland panel last year. DLA Piper and Squire Patton Boggs retained their places on Molson Coors’ legal panel, while Shoosmiths and TLT won new spots.
