You will join an experienced legal team supporting the company's Japan operations, with a senior Bengoshi ready to train and develop your legal skills.

* Review, draft and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements
* Support cross-border and trade-related legal matters
* Provide cross-departmental legal advice to business and operational teams
* Manage corporate documentation and registration across all group companies
* Support the legal team on ad hoc projects as the business scales in Japan

Why Consider This Opportunity?

* Broad scope across commercial, regulatory, and corporate matters, ideal for building well-rounded in-house experience

* Join a stable global company with a long track record in the Japan market

*Exposure to a specialized, technically driven industry

* Flexible working style, including remote work and flex time

* Supportive team environment working alongside experienced legal colleagues
