Job Description

Location: Hong Kong or Singapore

Key Responsibilities

  • Fund formation & structuring — Lead the drafting, review and negotiation of fund establishment and constitutive documents, with a particular focus on Variable Capital Companies (VCCs) and related fund structures.
  • Investor documentation — Prepare and negotiate subscription agreements, side letters, investor onboarding documentation and disclosure materials.
  • 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.
  • External counsel & legal spend — Instruct and manage external counsel on specialist and cross-border matters, and help manage legal spend.
  • Business partnering — Provide pragmatic, commercially grounded legal advice to the investment, operations and management teams.

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.
