Job description

Step into a role at the heart of international finance. This position offers the chance to work within a leading organization that connects global markets, supports innovation across asset classes, and plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of financial services.

What You'll Do

  • Provide strategic legal and regulatory advice to senior management and business units on complex issues impacting daily operations and long‑term growth.
  • Draft, review, and refine internal frameworks and operating rules that underpin trading, clearing, and settlement activities.
  • Negotiate and review a wide range of contracts, including vendor engagements, consultancy agreements, and cross‑border cooperation arrangements.
  • Collaborate with external counsel and manage typical in‑house legal functions across diverse business lines.

What We're Looking For

  • Qualified lawyer in Hong Kong with at least 8 years' post‑qualification experience, ideally with exposure to financial services or regulatory matters.
  • Strong command of written and spoken English, with Chinese language skills required; Putonghua proficiency is an advantage.
  • A collaborative team player with commercial acumen and the ability to work independently.
  • Experience in derivatives (including OTC), capital markets, structured products, or financial regulation in major jurisdictions will be highly valued.
  • Prior in‑house experience is beneficial but not essential; candidates from international law firms or global financial institutions are encouraged to apply.
