⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid generic cover letters that don't mention SEA/APAC or tech platform IP—this role requires specific regional and industry knowledge.
  • Don't focus only on litigation or prosecution experience; this role is about governance, policy, and risk mitigation, so emphasize advisory and process-building work.
  • Don't neglect to mention cross-functional collaboration; candidates who seem siloed in legal-only work may be seen as less adaptable to this client-facing, business-integrated role.
