Regional Corporate Counsel

Innergy Consulting Pte. Ltd is hiring a Regional Corporate Counsel to support a global shipping client. The role covers corporate financing transactions, strategic investments, asset acquisitions and disposals, and cross-border commercial projects across APAC. It is suited to a qualified lawyer with at least 10 years of post-qualification experience who has worked on heavy-asset M&A or financing transactions.

What you will do

• Lead and provide legal support on corporate financing, strategic investments, asset acquisitions and disposals, and other complex commercial transactions.
• Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements and transaction documents.
• Advise internal stakeholders on corporate governance, financing, procurement, technology, intellectual property, real estate, and regulatory matters.
• Support regional business initiatives, including cross-border projects, joint ventures, and M&A activities across APAC.
• Identify and mitigate legal and commercial risks while providing practical, business-oriented legal advice.
• Manage external counsel where required and ensure legal compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support business growth and strategic initiatives.

What they are looking for

• A qualified lawyer with 10+ years of post-qualification experience (PQE).
• Strong experience in corporate M&A, financing transactions, or other complex commercial transactions, preferably involving capital-intensive or asset-heavy industries.
• Experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a broad range of commercial agreements.
• Familiarity with cross-border transactions and advising regional stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to provide practical, business-oriented legal advice.
• Excellent negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities independently in a fast-paced, multinational environment.
• Prior in-house experience within a multinational corporation is advantageous but not essential.

The role is based in the United States and supports a global shipping client, with work spanning APAC. Heavy-asset M&A experience is preferred over financing transactions, though either background is acceptable.
