Head of Legal & Compliance

Look Capital, a regulated multi-family office holding a Capital Market Services (CMS) license in Singapore, is seeking a Head of Legal & Compliance to lead its legal and compliance function. The firm serves Asian tech elites with global asset allocation, overseas financial and legal infrastructure setup, and industry research, and this role acts as a key strategic partner to senior management on fund and investment-related legal work, regulatory compliance, and overall legal governance.

On the legal and advisory side, the role covers all legal matters relating to the firm's investment and fund activities, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating key documents such as Private Placement Memoranda (PPM), Limited Partnership Agreements (LPA), Subscription Agreements, and SAFEs. The successful candidate will advise on fund structuring, investment transactions, cross-border arrangements, and general corporate and commercial legal matters.

On compliance, the hire will oversee and enhance the firm's compliance framework in line with MAS regulations and international standards, acting as the key advisor to management on regulatory matters and ensuring ongoing compliance with CMS license requirements, SFA, AML/KYC, CRS, and FATCA. The role also serves as the primary point of contact with regulators including MAS, leading regulatory inspections, audits, and inquiries, and ensuring timely and accurate regulatory filings.

The position carries risk management responsibilities across investment activities and new products, working closely with the investment team, compliance, and external counsel, plus a people component: building and leading the legal and compliance function over time and promoting a strong governance culture across the organization.

Candidates should hold a law degree with 5-10 years of relevant experience in legal and/or compliance within financial services, asset management, or fund platforms. A qualified lawyer background is strongly preferred, along with 2-3 years at a reputable law firm in funds and investment or finance regulation. Experience with CMS-licensed entities in Singapore or SFC-licensed firms in Hong Kong is highly preferred, as is fluency in both Chinese and English for liaising with counterparties across markets.
