Courtenay Willis

Chief Counsel ANZ
Nando’s
Australia

“Knowing the law is expected but having the relationships that allow vulnerable, authentic and safe discussions across all areas of the business is what drives success.”

At Nando’s, our legal strategies are shaped by a dedication to governance, risk management and the intricacies of franchising and retail leasing. My role as Chief Counsel for Australia and New Zealand involves steering these strategies with a focus on aligning legal counsel with business objectives.

Collaborating with the leadership team, I contribute to the company’s success by ensuring compliance and managing legal affairs. My experience in board governance and corporate law have supported the promotion of ethical business practices and fostering a culture of positive compliance throughout the organisation.
