The company pays special attention to finding corporate legal affairs among external lawyers with experience in the following fields:
Company legal affairs, intellectual property rights, labor and employment, compliance, business (including contract review), etc. Experience in writing and negotiating trading documents is preferred.

As for litigation affairs, the legal department of the company is generally managed and supervised, and there are many cases of outsourcing litigation affairs.
However, it should be noted that when recruiting corporate legal counsel, corporate legal departments often pay more attention to the experience, business awareness and interpersonal communication skills of the candidates-sometimes, the most prominent candidate in the professional field is not necessarily the best candidate for corporate legal counsel.
After all, there are several important differences between legal work and lawyers, and those who intend to transform from lawyers to do legal affairs need to pay attention.
