Job description

You will work on real company legal matters and help the Managing Director keep cases, agreements and regulatory issues moving. We need someone who will do the research and drafting personally, follow through on each task and explain the next step clearly.

An important part of this role is attending routine court mentions and case management as the authorised company representative (wakil syarikat), where the court permits. The company may be the plaintiff or defendant. You attend on its behalf, not as its lawyer or advocate; external lawyers handle advocacy.

About us

Our businesses include the manufacturing, distribution and retail of vape products in Malaysia. The work covers disputes, employment matters, commercial agreements, intellectual property, licensing and changing product regulations.

What you will do

Keep case files, court dates and deadlines in order for each company.

Prepare documents and evidence for each hearing.

Draft and review employment contracts for our staff.

Draft, review and manage distributorship agreements.

Draft and review agreements with vendors and suppliers.

Draft and review other contracts, including tenancy and confidentiality agreements.

Handle IP registrations, renewals and infringement matters.

Track legal costs, settlements and recoveries with Finance, and send a short weekly case report.

Advise on employment matters, including Industrial Court and Labour Department cases.

Advise on the laws and licences that apply to our products, including vape laws and dealings with local councils and the Ministry of Health.

Write short, plain advice notes for management.

You will also work through letters of demand with external lawyers and prepare them for the Managing Director’s final approval. After a court attendance, you will promptly report the directions, deadlines and next steps to the Managing Director and external lawyers.

Matters you will handle

IP and brand protection: counterfeit and compatible-product disputes.

Civil and commercial cases: distributor disputes, settlements and enforcing judgments.

Employment: disputes at the Industrial Court and the Labour Department.

Local councils: licensing, enforcement notices, seizures and judicial review.

Ministry of Health: compliance, summonses and court proceedings.

Who we are looking for

A law degree and hands-on law-firm experience, preferably around one to three years. Relevant pupillage or substantive law-firm support work counts. Admission to the Malaysian Bar is not required.

Examples of legal research, drafting and case tasks you personally completed.

Strong written and spoken Bahasa Malaysia and English. You can explain a legal issue clearly to someone who is not a lawyer.

Care with facts, confidentiality and deadlines; willingness to ask when unsure and raise concerns early.

Willingness to work at Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, and travel within Malaysia when required.

A CGPA of 3.75 or above is preferred. Your legal reasoning, drafting and practical work will also be assessed.

What you can expect

You will work closely with the Managing Director and appointed external lawyers on live matters, with role-related legal training. Your performance and salary will be reviewed after probation. Strong performers may be considered for promotion as the legal function grows.
