Role and Responsibilities

Role & Responsibilities

Samsung Electronics America is seeking to add a dynamic and experienced attorney to our commercial legal team providing legal support mainly for the Home Entertainment and Digital Appliances lines of business. Reporting to the Principal Legal Counsel, you will combine legal acumen with your substantial experience in consumer electronics and home appliances sales, distribution marketing and ecommerce transactions and provide sound legal advice and practical solutions on a wide range of commercial and contractual matters affecting SEA’s consumer electronics and home appliance businesses. Your primary responsibilities will include drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex commercial agreements, assessing potential risks, managing commercial disputes, and providing guidance on various existing and emerging laws and regulations. You should possess a “no ego” style that encourages clients and legal department peers to seek you out for trusted advice and counsel. You also take a proactive approach to legal matters and consistently look to help solve problems.

In this role, you will:

  • Partner closely with internal stakeholders, including consumer electronics, home appliance and customer care teams and other legal department peers to support commercial objectives while managing risks to the company.
  • Work closely with other members of Samsung’s legal team, business leaders, and other key stakeholders, to manage complex commercial-related matters.

  • Provide guidance to senior management on issues relating to commercial matters, transactions, ecommerce and FTC issues.
  • Draft and negotiate various standard and non-standard commercial agreements including retail and B2B sales and distribution agreements, service contracts, promotional agreements and technology licenses. Review packaging, warranties, user interfaces, end-user license agreements, and other terms and conditions of service as needed.
  • Identify legal and regulatory issues associated with digital sales channels.
  • Partner closely with other legal team members to advise on business matters.
  • Exercise independent, informed, and considered judgment with minimal supervision. Must have strong, complex, and strategic commercial experience with strong communication, interpersonal, and negotiating skills.
  • Participate in cross-functional teams to provide legal support and guidance on various business initiatives, product launches, and regulatory matters.
  • Proactively identify emerging legal and regulatory risks for the business team.
  • Support continuous improvement of AI technology solutions, standard form agreements, policies, and legal operations related to commercial transactions.

  • Experience providing legal support to consumer electronics and home appliance retail, B2B sales, marketing teams or to ecommerce B2C teams.
  • Experience partnering with business teams to understand their requirements and then drafting, negotiating, and revising sophisticated transaction terms.
  • Experience with identifying privacy, consumer, transactional, and regulatory issues and working with multiple stakeholders to assess risks and then navigating through them.
  • Ability to make professional legal and business presentations in writing, through emails and reports, or orally, including complex legal, business, and technical matters to an audience of high technical skills, management, and operational experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
