  • Be an independent guardian and trusted business partner by providing commercially sensitive, pragmatic and practical legal support and advice in a cost effective and timely manner to MUFG.

  • Support Head of Legal, Asia Pacific by engaging in global, regional and/or country initiatives, supervise and manage legal affairs in Asia, optimise internal and external legal resources.

  • View legal transactions and risks with a regional perspective, driving standardisation across APAC and identifying issues in local laws and regulations which justifies deviation from a regional benchmark.

  • Minimum for VP: 6-8 years of post-qualification work experience (counting from equivalent Australian qualification dates i.e. translate to a 4-6 year PQE in UK terms) or for AVP: 2-6 years of post qualification work experience (0-4 UK PQE)

  • Lawyer qualified in a common law jurisdiction, ideally Aus/NZ qualified but candidates qualified in Singapore, US, UK, Hong Kong, Malaysia & India will also be considered.

  • Prior experience in regulatory compliance/HR/litigation/legal risk management.

  • Prior in-house legal experience in a financial institution would be an advantage.

  • Broad experience across banking and lending, wholesale/investment banking products and capital markets.

  • Strong technical knowledge of legal framework surrounding finance transactions generally, and strong document drafting skills.

  • Good knowledge of regulatory requirements relating to finance and banking.

  • Self-motivated and independent, with the ability to clearly challenge process and decisions, as well as to set new standards to ensure best practices are always followed.

  • Highly motivated and a willingness to get involved.

  • Excellent interpersonal skills.

  • Ability to manage large workloads and tight deadlines.

  • Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.

  • A calm approach, with the ability to perform well in a pressurised environment.
