Senior Associate / Counsel, IPTech

The Opportunity

Baker McKenzie Wong & Leow is seeking a high-calibre Senior Associate or Counsel to join our market-leading Intellectual Property & Technology practice in Singapore. We welcome applications from lawyers with intellectual property disputes experience, as well as strong commercial litigators looking to build a specialist practice in intellectual property and technology law.

The successful candidate will join a globally integrated team and work closely with leading practitioners across Baker McKenzie's international network. You will take ownership of significant workstreams on complex disputes and advisory matters, appear in contentious proceedings, and contribute to the continued growth of the practice.

About the Team

Baker McKenzie Wong & Leow's IPTech practice is one of the leading intellectual property and technology practices in Singapore and has been consistently recognised by Chambers and The Legal 500.

Our team advises leading multinational corporations, technology companies and owners of globally recognised brands on the full spectrum of contentious and non-contentious intellectual property, technology and related commercial matters. We regularly act on intellectual property disputes, enforcement and brand protection programmes, technology-related matters and complex cross-border projects.

Working closely with Baker McKenzie's global network, we support clients across a broad range of industries, including technology, consumer goods, media, life sciences and healthcare, on matters that are often business-critical, high-value and multi-jurisdictional.

About the Candidate

We are looking for a commercially minded lawyer with at least 6 years PQE and strong contentious experience gained at a leading law firm or specialist IP practice. Contentious IP experience is preferred, although we are also open to candidates with strong commercial litigation or disputes experience and an interest in developing a specialist practice in intellectual property and technology law.

You will have strong technical and drafting skills, sound legal analysis and experience managing complex disputes or contentious matters. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, a commercial and practical approach, and the ability to manage matters and client relationships effectively are also important.

Candidates should be qualified and permitted to practise law in Singapore.
