  • Serve as the go-to legal point for new business ideas, pilot projects, partnerships, and growth initiatives.
  • Identify legal risks early, propose mitigation strategies, and help the business move forward confidently.
  • Design and roll out internal policies (e.g. data privacy, information security, code of ethics, whistleblower policies).

Contracts & Commercial

  • Draft, review, negotiate, and manage commercial contracts (vendor agreements, SaaS/subscriptions, partnerships, NDAs, master service agreements, MOUs, licensing, etc.).
  • Maintain a contract playbook and modular templates to streamline review and execution.
  • Monitor contract performance and enforce obligations as needed.

Dispute Resolution & Risk Management

  • Oversee disputes, litigation, claims, and enforcement matters — including managing external counsel.
  • Conduct legal research, manage legal due diligence, and support internal investigations if necessary.
  • Assess and advise on insurance, indemnities, liability, intellectual property, and regulatory risk exposures.

Team & Process Building

  • Build legal operations capabilities: internal matter intake, workflows, legal metrics, document management, contract repository.
  • Train and advise internal teams on legal best practices (e.g. marketing compliance, employee conduct, data handling).
  • Continuously refine processes to scale with the company.

Profile Wishlist:

  • Licensed Attorney in the Philippines, in good standing with the Bar.
  • Minimum
    5 years
    of post-qualification legal experience (law firm and/or in-house), preferably with exposure to tech, healthcare, or startups.
  • Solid experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts; familiarity with SaaS agreements, vendor contracts, partnership agreements, etc.
  • Working knowledge of relevant PH laws (data privacy, healthcare regulation, consumer law, employment, company law).
  • High commercial acumen; you can translate legal risk into business opportunity.
  • Excellent communicator; able to distill complex legal concepts into clear, actionable advice for non-legal stakeholders.
  • Proven integrity, sound judgment, and a reputation for being a trusted adviser.
