Blue Ventures Conservation is an international non-governmental organisation (INGO) operating in Madagascar.
The organisation is undertaking an organisational transformation programme involving a review of its organisational structure, operating model, roles and responsibilities, employment arrangements and ways of working.
Blue Ventures Conservation is seeking an experienced Legal Adviser / Legal Consultancy Firm to provide independent, practical and timely legal advice throughout the design and early implementation of the organisational transformation programme.
The assignment will have a particular focus on Malagasy employment and labour law, organisational restructuring, employee consultation, redundancy and termination, employee relations and legal risk management, together with related governance, regulatory, contractual and dispute-management matters.
We are looking for an adviser who can provide not only technically sound legal advice, but also clear, practical and proportionate recommendations that support senior management to make informed decisions and implement organisational change lawfully and effectively.
We believe the power to restore our oceans lives in the coastal communities bearing witness to the planetary crises.
Our vision is a future where coastal life thrives in and out of the water. A future where communities have the agency and resources needed to protect their livelihoods, culture and biodiversity for generations to come.
We provide funding, data tools, training, and advocacy support to amplify community-powered change and shift national policies from exclusion to agency.
Through initiatives like Transform Bottom Trawling (transformbottomtrawling.org) and our growing network of 400 civil society organisations, we're catalysing a global movement.
