This is a broad-based counsel role with a primary APAC focus. Responsibilities include:

  • Act as a lead legal point of contact for APAC business stakeholders, coordinating with the global legal team to deliver consistent, commercially practical advice.
  • Advise on employment-related matters, including performance management, employee relations, workplace investigations, terminations, restrictive covenants, and the development of compliant employment policies, handbooks, and training materials.
  • Interpret and apply relevant statutory, regulatory, privacy and data protection, and employment-law requirements across APAC jurisdictions; monitor legal developments and recommend appropriate actions.
  • Lead, advise and conduct internal investigations and represent the company in liaising with governing, law enforcement and regulatory authorities conducting external investigations and inquiries
  • Represent the Company in responding to Client legal and compliance inquiries
  • Draft, review, and negotiate a range of commercial agreements, including service agreements, NDAs, employment agreements, and IP and data licensing agreements.
  • Partner with Legal, Human Resources, Finance, Compliance, Product, and business teams on corporate initiatives, regulatory issues, and risk assessments.
  • Support the development and implementation of company policies, procedures, and compliance initiatives, including adapting them for local legal requirements where appropriate.
  • Review marketing collateral and business practices for compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • Manage pre-litigation, dispute-resolution, and other contentious matters; oversee and work effectively with outside counsel across jurisdictions.
  • Provide responsive legal support on matters arising in APAC and, as needed, in other company offices around the world

What You Have:

  • At least 3 years of relevant legal experience in a law firm, in-house legal department, financial institution, investment fund, or comparable environment.
  • Demonstrated experience advising on legal matters in APAC, with practical knowledge of regional statutory and regulatory frameworks. Experience with PRC employment and commercial law is strongly preferred.
  • Experience in one or more of the following: employment law, commercial contracting, litigation or dispute resolution, compliance, corporate matters, data or IP, insurance, tax, or transactional support.
  • Ability to assess legal risk, prioritize competing matters, and communicate clear, solutions-oriented advice to non-legal stakeholders.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, negotiation, organization, and relationship-management skills.
  • Professional fluency in English and Mandarin Chinese; additional APAC language capability is a plus.
  • High integrity and discretion in handling confidential and sensitive matters, with the flexibility to operate effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative international environment.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
