A regional business is hiring an in-house Legal Counsel to support cross-border operations across Southeast Asia. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being close to commercial stakeholders and shaping outcomes, not just reviewing documents.
Scope
You will advise on legal and commercial risk across a broad portfolio of work, with a strong focus on drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements (customer, partner and vendor). You will support matters end to end, from early-stage deal structuring through to post-signing contract governance, variations, and issue management. You will also work with internal stakeholders on core compliance requirements, including third-party risk processes where relevant, and coordinate external counsel on specialist issues when needed.
Requirements
We are looking for 7–12 PQE with solid in-house and/or private practice experience in an international environment. Strong commercial contracting and negotiation skills are essential, along with a pragmatic, solutions-led approach and the ability to manage priorities across multiple stakeholders. Excellent English is required due to regional coordination. Some travel within the region may be expected.
Apply
Please share your CV and a short note outlining your relevant experience (or a short summary) for a confidential discussion, and please quote CL-OC-9.
