Senior Counsel, M&A | Investment Group | 10+ PQE CL-OC-33

About the opportunity

A leading international investment group is looking to hire a Senior Counsel to be based in Singapore.

This is a broad, hands-on role with strong exposure to M&A, investments, financing, disputes and strategic corporate advisory work across different jurisdictions.

The role

You will work closely with the legal team, Group Head and senior business stakeholders on strategic legal matters supporting the group’s global investment activities.

This is a strong opportunity for a highly commercial M&A lawyer with strong executive presence, deep transactional experience and the ability to operate as a trusted advisor to senior leadership. The role would suit someone who enjoys complex, strategic work and is comfortable partnering closely with business leaders across different jurisdictions.

Key responsibilities

You will support the legal team on a broad range of M&A, investment and strategic matters, including:

Supporting M&A, investments, joint ventures, financing and business development activities

Advising on transaction structuring, legal risk, negotiation strategy and execution

Drafting, reviewing and negotiating transaction documents and commercial agreements

Supporting due diligence, deal management and post-transaction integration matters where required

Advising on legal issues, business strategy, risk management and corporate priorities

Advising on disputes, litigation and arbitration matters where required

Supporting corporate governance, regulatory compliance and risk management initiatives

Managing local and international external counsel where required

Working closely with senior stakeholders across different business units and jurisdictions

Requirements

More than 10 years of post-qualification legal experience

Strong international legal experience, ideally with exposure beyond a purely local market

A strong combination of private practice and in-house legal experience

Deep M&A, investment and transactional experience, ideally operating at Partner calibre

Training or experience with a top-tier / Tier 1 law firm at some point in their career

Strong corporate legal experience across M&A, joint ventures, investments, financing and commercial contracts

Singapore Bar admission preferred, though not essential

Corporate governance, risk management and disputes exposure would be advantageous

Strong commercial judgement, maturity and executive presence

Excellent communication, stakeholder management and influencing skills

Humility, collaboration and a strong team-oriented mindset

Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, complex and entrepreneurial environment

Strong cultural alignment with a values-driven, high-performance organisation

Why this role

This is a rare opportunity to join a lean, high-calibre legal team where the legal function works closely with senior leadership on strategic and business-critical M&A and investment matters.

The role offers broad cross-border exposure, with the chance to work on complex transactions and strategic matters that would typically be handled by external counsel in many other organisations.

This would suit a senior M&A lawyer who is commercially grounded, intellectually sharp, hands-on, and keen to build a long-term career in a dynamic international investment group.
