Key Responsibilities
- Act as the Group’s go-to legal expert, managing both day-to-day operations and strategic legal initiatives.
- Lead and develop a small legal team (2–3 local team members), with potential scope expansion into China-related matters.
- Integrate and streamline internal legal processes and workflows, filling a gap where legal functions were previously fragmented.
- Provide direct support on complex or high-stakes cases, ensuring timely and pragmatic solutions. Draft, review, and negotiate franchise and agency agreements—both domestic and international.
- Oversee trademark strategy and intellectual property matters. Manage international disputes, including arbitration and litigation, while coordinating with overseas counsel.
- Collaborate closely with business units and external partners to ensure legal alignment across regions.
What We’re Looking For?
- A practical, grounded legal professional who’s not afraid to be hands-on and step into the details.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills—able to work closely with founders and speak the same “language,” both literally and culturally (Taiwanese/Hokkien a strong plus).
- Experience in cross-border legal work, contract negotiation, trademark/IP, and commercial disputes.
- Someone who enjoys building structure from scratch and bringing clarity to complexity.
Why This Role?
- Work directly with visionary founders and be a core part of the leadership decision-making. Rare chance to build and shape the legal function for a business with international ambitions.
- Engage with a wide range of legal issues—from franchise models and branding to international litigation.
