Job Description

Our client is a major US law firm with a strong network of offices across Asia.  It has a strong corporate, dispute resolution and TMT practice with an impressive blue chip client base.  Due to continued growth it now requires a TMT associate to join either its Hong Kong or Beijing office.

The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of intellectual property law and 2 to 4 years of drafting and negotiation experience with a wide variety of technology transactions including:

    • licensing, outsourcing, software technology development, and professional services (reseller and distribution) agreements
    • cross-border technology transfers
    • regulatory e-commerce, media and entertainment deals, data security and privacy matters, and
    • IP due diligence work in M&A and financing transactions or other complex procurement projects.

It is likely that you will be working for another international law firm and that you will be admitted in HK, UK or the US but candidates qualified in other common law will also be considered.  Strong academic credentials in intellectual property, technology and commercial law coursework at a top-tier law school is highly valued.  A working knowledge of the PRC internet regulatory landscape would be an advantage.  Chinese language skills will be preferred, but are not essential for this role.

The successful candidate will enjoy working within a well resourced team with several of Asia’s leading TMT partners.  You will work on a variety of challenging TMT matters and be offered excellent mentoring and strong long term career development prospects.  A generous remuneration package is on offer.
