The Role

We are seeking a commercially minded Legal Counsel to support a broad range of transactional, development and construction matters, with a particular focus on data centre projects in Singapore and Malaysia.

The role will suit an M&A lawyer who is open to projects work, or a projects lawyer willing to take on M&A matters.

*** This is initially a contract position. Any extension or potential conversion to a permanent role will depend on business requirements and the continued expansion of the Group’s data centre portfolio. Candidates should therefore be comfortable considering the opportunity on a contract basis without an expectation of permanent conversion.

Key Responsibilities

Support M&A, joint ventures, investments and corporate transactions.

Draft and negotiate transaction and commercial documents.

Advise on data centre development and construction matters.

Support due diligence, project structuring and related legal work.

Work closely with internal stakeholders and external counsel.

Provide practical advice on urgent and time-sensitive matters.

Requirements

More than 8 years’ PQE with relevant M&A, projects, infrastructure or construction experience.

Willingness to work across both corporate and projects matters.

Strong drafting, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills.

Commercial, adaptable and able to manage fluctuating workloads.

Malaysian legal qualification or experience would be advantageous.

Data centre experience is beneficial but not essential.

Flexible working arrangements are available, subject to business needs.
