About the job: Managing the Mission
We are seeking a strategic Legal Manager to serve as our primary advocate and guardian in civil and/or commercial litigation. This is a pivotal role where you will not only manage dispute resolution from end-to-end but also act as a key advisor to our internal stakeholders. You will bridge the gap between complex legal risks and practical business needs, ensuring that every strategy—from drafting airtight contracts to vetting legal documents—is designed to safeguard the company’s long-term interests.
Requirements:
The ideal candidate is a proactive leader who is already well-versed in the nuances of the Malaysian legal landscape. We are looking for:
Professional Credentials: An LLB holder admitted to the Malaysian Bar with 7–10 years of experience, specifically within civil litigation and commercial disputes.
Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of civil procedure and contract law, with the ability to manage multiple cases and meet tight court or regulatory timelines.
Versatile Expertise: While a strong background in a law firm is essential, we highly value the commercial "lens" that comes with prior in-house experience.
Analytical Edge: Exceptional skills in drafting, negotiation, and risk mitigation to ensure optimal outcomes in every dispute.
- Language proficiency: English, Bahasa Melayu
About the team:
You will join a focused Legal Department that prizes independence and proactive problem-solving. This is an environment where you are expected to work with minimal supervision, reporting directly to management and providing sound counsel that impacts our operational success. You will act as the vital link between the company and external solicitors or regulatory authorities, working within a culture that respects legal excellence and values a commercially-aware approach to justice.
