• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including NDAs, MOUs, service agreements, vendor contracts, and employment‑related documentation.
• Provide support for regional M&A, JV, and investment transactions, including due diligence, documentation review, and regulatory considerations.
• Advise internal stakeholders on Singapore legal, regulatory, and compliance matters relevant to data centre development, commercial operations, and real estate/technical contracts as needed.
• Work closely with internal teams (Projects, Operations, HR, Finance, Commercial) to identify legal risks and propose practical mitigation strategies.
• Support cross‑border legal work across Asia, coordinating with external counsel where required.
• Monitor and interpret regulatory developments in Singapore (e.g., PDPA, employment laws, construction‑related regulations, sector‑specific compliance).
• Develop internal legal templates, policies, and playbooks to enhance operational efficiency.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s Degree in Law (LLB) from a recognised university.
• Admission to the Singapore Bar (Advocate & Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore) preferred; foreign‑qualified lawyers with relevant Singapore experience may also be considered.
• Minimum 10 years of relevant legal experience gained in a reputable law firm and/or in‑house legal department.

• Ability to manage complex matters independently with sound judgment and business‑friendly solutions.
• Excellent drafting, communication, and stakeholder‑management skills.
• High attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and ability to work in a fast‑paced and evolving environment.
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to partner closely with regional teams.

Why Join Us?
