What the job involves

- Regulatory Compliance: Help maintain our compliance framework by monitoring changes in applicable laws and regulations and assisting with internal compliance programs and reporting at the local, state, and federal level
- Litigation Support: Provide support for litigation matters, including managing diligence, coordinating with outside counsel, preparing internal documents, and organizing matter files
- General Legal Support: Conduct legal research, provide guidance to internal business teams on legal matters and strategy, and help develop and maintain company policies and procedures
Our take
Though fibre optics connectivity is thought to be commonplace, there are still gaps in the network across unserviceable and underserved communities. Vero Networks aims to help these areas through the installation and management of fibre optic-based broadband networks.
Founded by members of the UK-based communication group Zayo Group’s leadership team, Vero Networks has grown to work within 171 markets across 19 US states. It works on installation and management across homes, schools, businesses, as well as wholesale markets across areas of the US. Its focus on areas that larger networks might overlook adds value to the company and has helped it expand its impressive network.
Growth equity investment from Hamilton Lane and Delta-v Capital will see Vero improve its home network services and dark fibre network solutions. With a string of acquisitions under its belt, Vero reached a key milestone in 2025 when it installed 790 miles of fibre cable that year.
