We believe technology augments, not replaces legal expertise. Our culture values collaboration, inclusivity, and flexibility. We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Associate to join our team. In this role, you will provide expert legal support to alternative asset managers and financing providers, drafting and negotiating M&A pipeline documentation and adjacent transactional matters.

• Drafting and negotiating M&A pipeline documents, such as non-disclosure agreements, offer letters, consulting agreements, reliance/non-reliance letters, financial advisory and indemnity letters, and other engagement letters;
• Directly counselling clients, providing valuable real-world legal experience;
• Monitoring project timelines, communicating updates to clients, and maintaining strong organisational control over legal workflows;
• Supporting the drafting, reviewing, and management of legal documentation for corporate transactions;
• Ensuring strict adherence to legal compliance and regulations; and
• Engaging with the development team and employing legal technology tools to boost the efficiency and precision of legal services.

Nice-to-Have

• Prior experience advising alternative asset managers, private equity, or private credit/financing providers;
• Familiarity with legal technology tools (e.g., contract automation, AI-assisted drafting, or document review platforms);
• Experience working within a remote, globally distributed team across multiple time zones;
• Fluency in an additional language relevant to APAC markets - not essential but an added bonus (e.g., Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia, or Cantonese) ; and
• An entrepreneurial mindset and interest in helping shape processes at a growing, tech-forward legal services company.
