Legal Counsel

About the role

We are looking for a junior lawyer to join the team. You will get early responsibility and direct exposure to commercial and investment work that most lawyers at your level do not see.

Responsibilities: 
• Draft, review and negotiate commercial agreements — game publishing and distribution, IP and brand licensing, marketing and partnership agreements, services agreements and SaaS/vendor contracts.
• Support the investments team on early-stage deals: SAFEs, SAFTs, token warrants, subscription agreements and shareholders’ agreements, including diligence and closing mechanics.
• Help manage corporate housekeeping across group entities — board and shareholder resolutions, corporate records, and coordination with company secretarial providers.
• Track regulatory developments relevant to digital assets across key jurisdictions (Hong Kong, Singapore, EU, UAE) and help translate them into practical internal guidance.
• Assist on intellectual property matters, including trade mark portfolio management and brand enforcement.
• Work directly with business teams to give commercial, usable advice quickly.
• Support on data privacy, consumer terms and platform compliance questions as they arise.
  Requirements
• Qualified to practise in Hong Kong or another common law jurisdiction, with 1–2 years’ post-qualification experience.
• Training or practice at a reputable law firm, or comparable in-house experience.
• Solid commercial contract drafting and negotiation skills.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, volume and pace. Priorities shift, and you will need to shift with them.
• Clear, plain-English communication. The people you advise are not lawyers.
• Sound judgement about when to decide and when to escalate.

Nice to have

• Exposure to venture capital or M&A transactions.
• Familiarity with digital asset regulation, IP licensing, or the games industry.
