Our client is a US law firm with a well-established Singapore office, consistently ranked in the regional banking and finance league tables and running a steady pipeline of cross-border lending and PRC-facing deal work. They're now looking to bring on a paralegal with real fee-earning responsibility — not just admin support.
About the Role
This is a fee-earning paralegal position embedded directly in the banking & finance team. The successful candidate will be hands-on across deal documentation — drafting, reviewing, and managing closing mechanics — rather than sitting on the sidelines. Given the firm's PRC client base, Mandarin fluency is a strong asset for this seat.
Sectors
- Banking & Finance
- Cross-border lending, with a strong PRC/China-facing deal flow
Banking Documents
- Loan and facility agreements
- Security documents - debentures, charges, mortgages
- Guarantees and comfort letters
- Trade finance documents, including letters of credit
Due Diligence
The role includes involvement in due diligence on security packages and collateral, plus the usual KYC and conditions-precedent checks that come with closing a facility.
Key Requirements
- LL.B., with 3-4 years' experience handling banking documentation
- Comfortable running point on facility and security documents end-to-end
- Mandarin fluency strongly preferred, given the firm's PRC client base
- Sharp communicator, meticulous with detail - this isn't a seat for loose ends
- Qualified lawyers looking to move into a paralegal-style fee-earning role are also welcome to apply
Overseas Applicants
Candidates based outside Singapore are welcome to apply; relevant visa/work pass arrangements would need to be discussed at offer stage.
