About the company

Our client is an expanding digital entertainment and content technology business operating across borders, working with international partners and stakeholders.

The opportunity

This is a newly created role and the company’s first dedicated in-house legal hire, brought on due to growth. You’ll lay the groundwork for contracting and IP governance, working closely with leadership and commercial teams to introduce practical, business-friendly legal structure in a fast-paced setting. The role is hands-on, with commercial agreements and IP/trademarks as the two main pillars.

  • IP & trademarks (critical): Manage day-to-day IP matters, including trademark portfolio work (filings, renewals, watch services), IP clauses in commercial deals, licensing and usage permissions, and coordinating enforcement actions with external counsel

  • Build contract templates, playbooks, and a streamlined contracting process to help teams execute faster

  • Manage and coordinate external counsel across relevant jurisdictions

  • Support additional legal/compliance needs arising from cross-border operations

Requirements

  • Qualified lawyer with 7–12 years’ post-qualification experience (PQE)

  • Strong commercial contracting track record with confident drafting and negotiation capability

  • IP/trademarks experience is essential, including portfolio management and advising stakeholders on protection and permitted use

  • Comfortable operating as the first in-house legal hire, working independently and setting up simple, scalable processes

  • Advantage: experience in gaming / interactive content / digital entertainment

  • Bonus: cross-border exposure and experience managing multiple external counsel across jurisdictions

Company Details

About Nat & Nat Search

A Singapore-based boutique recruitment firm focused on placing outstanding legal, finance, and adjacent governance talent into organisations where the hire truly matters.

Founded in 2026

Built on 30 years of collective experience

Founded in 2026 by two founders with a collective 30 years of recruitment experience, we built Nat & Nat Search to raise the bar on what clients and candidates should expect—sharp role calibration, honest market insight, and shortlists you can hire from.

Why "Nat & Nat"

Our name is personal. Co-founder Claire Lin named Nat & Nat Search after her twin daughters, reflecting the firm's founding philosophy: relationships built for the long term, with care, integrity, and accountability.

What makes us different

Unlike broad-based agencies, we stay intentionally concentrated on legal and finance hiring—because these hires are high-stakes. They shape risk, revenue, governance, and reputation. Specialisation gives us deeper networks in niche talent pools, better judgement on fit (technical + behavioural + stakeholder style), and faster, more accurate shortlists with fewer "maybe" profiles.
