Background

About Ami Patel

I am a seasoned General Counsel with 25+ years of legal, business, and compliance management experience in diverse sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for identifying optimisation opportunities, as well as for risk mitigation, private equity management, and complex commercial transactions, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company success throughout my career. Professional focal points include legal and compliance transformation, M&A integration and divestitures, cybersecurity incident readiness and management, sourcing functions, contract negotiations, and internal investigations. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and strategy development skills, as well as business acumen, process optimization, critical thinking, and issue resolution to support efficiency and ideal outcomes. Currently, I am the Head of Legal and Compliance with Lucidworks. I ideate, develop, and implement initiatives to address tactical matters while overseeing insurance renewals and coverages, training junior resources, and streamlining templates and processes. I also provide end to end litigation management, remediate critical risks, and negotiate inbound and outbound commercial transactions. In addition, I liaise with senior executives, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s legal support structure is driving the business forward with minimal obstacles. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, legal and compliance expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver desirable results for both the company and the client.
