- Provide direct legal support to the desk on new business initiatives
- Liaise with external counsel and other external advisers
- Negotiate with counterparties in China and other jurisdictions
While your daily work will focus on Hong Kong and China, you may also advise colleagues more broadly across our office locations worldwide.

- Experienced with drafting and negotiating contracts
- Able to stay organised with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, and able to handle competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent writer and speaker; strong negotiator
- Self-motivated and flexible team player
- Positive, responsible and professional in attitude and presence
- Collaborative and able to clearly articulate your approach, analysis and conclusions
- Comfortable working on problems that rarely have clean, definitive answers
- Native in Mandarin and fluent in English, both in speaking and writing
