Corporate & commercial contracting — Draft, review and negotiate vendor, service, technology and data agreements, NDAs, intellectual property arrangements and other commercial contracts.

Entity management & governance — Support the incorporation and ongoing maintenance of fund and management company entities, including overseas office set-up; coordinate with corporate secretarial service providers.

Employment — Prepare and maintain template employment agreements and advise on day-to-day employment matters across jurisdictions.

Regulatory-adjacent legal support — Work alongside the Compliance function on the legal interpretation of regulatory requirements affecting fund operations and licensing.

Requirements

Qualified lawyer admitted in Singapore or Hong Kong (or a comparable common law jurisdiction).

Approximately 4–7 years PQE, with substantive experience in funds / investment management legal work.

Hands-on fund formation experience is essential — in particular the establishment and structuring of Singapore VCCs. Familiarity with comparable vehicles (e.g. Cayman funds, Hong Kong OFCs) is an advantage.

Solid corporate and commercial contracting experience.

Experience gained in-house at an asset / fund manager, or in a funds practice at a reputable law firm.

Strong drafting and negotiation skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams independently.

Commercially minded and solutions-oriented — able to translate legal risk into practical, executable business guidance rather than purely theoretical advice.

Able to onboard quickly and operate effectively with limited supervision.

Cross-border exposure (e.g. China, India, the Middle East) is an advantage.
