Paralegal (Contractor)

As Paralegal, you will report to the Head of Legal, China and SEA, and will help organize, review, and draft legal documents. You will also help alleviate the administrative needs burdening the team, freeing attorneys to focus on more substantive matters.

• Manage and archive multiple contracts, IP registrations/certificates, pleadings and corporate documents and maintain spreadsheets to help track important contracts and legal obligations

• Trustworthy: You are always on top of your game, able to organize and execute multiple projects simultaneously without missing a beat or a deadline; like a human vault, you mentally lock away sensitive information and trade secrets behind impenetrable steel and a nine-digit passcode
• A detail detective: You know that in law, everything can hinge on one overlooked triviality; you pour over every detail, letting no minor discrepancy, minutia, or legal loophole escape your ever-watchful eye
• Educated and experienced: You have racked up at least a year's experience in a legal environment; ideally, you've drafted contracts or dealt with corporate or court filings
• Communicator: You effectively communicate with team members to ensure the team is operating smoothly
• Diligent: You follow through on each task and follow up on needed response and guidance
• Proactive: You have the ability to anticipate the administrative needs of the legal team
