  • External Counsel Management: Lead and liaise with international legal teams and elite external counsel to ensure unified legal defense and global brand protection.

  • Regulatory Advisory: Proactively analyze evolving regional regulatory shifts (HK, Singapore, US, EU) and translate them into actionable business strategies to safeguard the platform's global operations.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience: 10+ years of PQE, with a proven track record in a legal leadership role (e.g., Head of Legal, General Counsel) within a major crypto exchange, fintech firm, or a top-tier law firm specializing in these sectors.

  • Litigation Expertise: Strong background in commercial litigation, arbitration, and managing complex dispute resolution processes.

  • Language Fluency: Native-level or professional-grade fluency in both Mandarin and English (written and verbal) is strictly required to review legal documents and communicate with stakeholders.

  • Bar Admission: Valid admission to the bar in Hong Kong, Singapore, the USA, or an EU member state.

  • Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of international regulatory frameworks governing digital assets, securities laws, and cross-border financial compliance.
